Tiffanie Rochelle Story is the current Miss Nevada. Although she hasn't just won the World Series, she might have reason to celebrate shortly. She will visit Orlando, Fla., with other Miss America contestants as the group prepares for the 80th annual Miss America competition Oct. 14 in Atlantic City. Story represents Nevada in the contest. The biggest change will be in the swimsuit competition, where all of the contestants will be featured on the television broadcast instead of the final 10 as happened in previous years.
Story sees the changes as a step in the right direction.
I think that maybe there are other ways to show fitness. Story, a music education major, had misconceptions about pageants and never imagined entering one. A representative from the pageant heard her rehearsing at the university and suggested she enter. Another benefit of the competition is the chance for Story to educate teens on domestic violence. The competition, held the same month as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, will provide Story the opportunity to reach a wider audience, discussing her own experiences and educating people about the resources available to help victims of domestic violence.
