From the words of Brittany Dawn Brannon - Miss Arizona USA 2011:
"I was born and raised in Paradise Valley, Arizona! I have always been submersed in the arts. I have played violin and piano since age 5, and was in orchestra all throughout high school. I have done classical ballet since I have been two years old and was accepted to the America Ballet Theater.
It had always been my goal to go and dance professionally in New York at ABT, however a foot injury that took place when I was 17, prevented me from dancing ever again.
With faith that everything happens for a reason, I instantly began to look for the next opportunity..."
Whether it's visiting a new continent, steering the wheel of a racecar at 170 mph, or working "Inside the Beltway" in DC...this bright-eyed Arizona beauty does not let the opportunities of life pass her by.
