Alma Cooper of Michigan was crowned Miss USA on Sunday.
The 22-year-old is a US Army officer. She has completed a master's degree in data science from Stanford University and managed to beat 50 other women in the beauty pageant.
"As the daughter of an immigrant worker, a proud Afro-Latina woman, and an officer in the United States Army, I am living the American dream," she told the judges during questions in the competition. "If there's one thing my life and my mother's have taught me, it's that your circumstances never define your destiny: You can make success attainable by seeking excellence."
Cooper was crowned on stage by Savannah Gankiewicz of Hawaii.
