UPDATE: Sarah Rose Summers was crowned the new Miss USA 2018!
Born and raised a Husker football fan from Papillion, Nebraska Sarah Rose is thrilled to be representing the Cornhusker state this year.
After graduating Papillion La Vista South High School, Sarah Rose attended Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX. She graduated Cum Laude in four years, completing two separate degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Child Development and a Bachelor of Science in Strategic Communication with a Business minor. As an Omaha native, she has been a proud TCU Horned Frog as their baseball team has made it to her hometown for the College World Series the last four years. Go Frogs!
Sarah Rose has plans to utilize her own pediatric hospitalization experience, child development degree, and clinical experiences, from Children’s Medical Center Dallas and The Children’s Hospital at OUMC as a Certified Child Life Specialist. She will work as the liaison and advocate between children and families and the medical team in a children’s hospital setting; serving as an educator of sorts to help patients and their families understand procedures, diagnoses, and more all while normalizing the environment to relieve stressors and anxieties of hospitalization. She will take her certification exam during her year as Miss Nebraska USA and plans to implement her child life skill sets throughout her year by visiting hospitalized children as an active advocate for Vanbros’ Ross’ Foundation.
Sarah Rose is honored and humbled to be Miss Nebraska USA. She intends to embrace every opportunity to motivate and empower others during her year. Approaching everything in life with faith, enthusiasm, optimism, and an undying desire to succeed, she is ready for her next big dream, to become the first Miss USA from Nebraska.
