Miss Delaware USA 2021 Drew Sanclemente’s court includes:

First runner-up: Rebecca Gasperetti

Second runner-up: Jennifer Santiago

Third runner-up: Grace Otley

Fourth runner-up: Kelly Seibold

Drew mentioned that beauty pageants have taught her to be confident, believe in herself, stand up for herself, and to love who she is. She added, "It's taught me the importance of speaking up and being a voice for those who don't feel heard. Pageantry has allowed me to spread empowerment, motivation, and inspiration to my community. It's taught me sisterhood, service, and leadership. Pageantry has shaped the woman I am today. "

The beauty queen, who is going to be a doctor soon, states that a woman’s abilities are not defined by her physical appearance but by the way she uses the platform given to her, whether it’s a profession or a doctor or a beauty queen, to help others and make a change in society. She is an empowered woman who is a keen advocate for women and has encouraged everyone to embrace their femininity while conquering the world with their dreams. She aspires to use the platform to advance women in STEM, advocate for healthcare disparities, and to continue her work with community science education.

She emerges as an extremely dedicated, focused, and honest candidate who is determined to make her state and country proud. She is grateful for every opportunity that came her way and helped her shape herself into someone she can be proud of.

Congratulations, queens!
