Caroline Pettey, 27, has a degree in broadcast journalism from Auburn University, which led her to travel and report for a Women's National Basketball Association team. She's since gone on to become a weeknight news anchor in South Dakota, her Miss USA bio states.
She enjoys reading, baking, and snowboarding, among other hobbies, and is working toward hiking the Appalachian Trail in sections. One of her biggest passions, however, is helping women who have faced domestic violence.
