Penn State Alumna Jordyn Colao to Represent Pennsylvania in Miss America 2013
Pennsylvania will be represented by none other than Penn State graduate Jordyn Colao (@MissPA2012) at Miss America 2013
Not only is this Erie native a bombshell, but she graduated magna cum laude last spring with a major in biobehavioral health. Jordyn was a participant in THON, and plans to earn her Master’s degree and eventually work in a cardiology unit. Her pageant platform is “Heart to Heart: Cardiovascular Disease Prevention,” and her talent is tap-dancing, which she has been doing since age three.
Vote for this lovely lady to be Miss America 2013 here. Polls are open until January 10 at 11:59 p.m. The Miss America Pageant is set for January 12 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
Here’s Jordyn’s entry video, complete with a corny (yet awesome) Penn State reference at 0:30.
