McCullough talked about how she is in love with her job and her position as emergency preparedness specialist with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. However, it wasn’t an easy journey for her. “Being a woman in the science industry is truly empowering,” she explains. “I walk into my agency knowing that I am meant to be here,” added McCulough.

The beauty queen who majored in chemistry in college, attracted everyone’s attention during the finals of Miss USA 2017 when she came through the question-answer round by giving the most unpredictable answers deviating from other contestants. She believed healthcare is a privilege, not a right, and sees herself more as an ‘Equalist’ than feminist.

Even before winning the Miss USA title, the beauty queen started a community program, Science Exploration for Kids, to encourage young girls and boys to get enthusiastic about STEM subjects, especially those who, like her, struggle with certain aspects of it. "I just want children to find joy in science at a young age and not look at it like it’s difficult," she said. "I’m hoping to visit schools, do science projects, maybe do symposiums with high school students, and encourage them to look at career fields in science, technology, engineering and math."
