Alice Magoto will be representing Miss Ohio USA at the upcoming Miss USA pageant. Alice, who was previously MIss Ohio 2016, was preceded by 2018 winner Deneen Penn. Miss Ohio USA has not taken home the Miss USA crown since Kimberly Seelbrede, who went on to be a MIss Universe semifinalist, in 1981.
The 21-year-old is currently working on a degree in marketing with a minor in fashion studies and a certificate in digital engagement.
If Magoto is able to bring home the Miss USA crown, she “will continue to share her #KeepingitReal message of not having to photoshop yourself or your life to be successful with a global audience.”
