At the conclusion of the finale of Miss Wisconsin USA 2018 held at FDL High School Performing Arts Center on 10th September 2017, Regina Gray of Milwaukee was crowned as the winner and will now represent her state in Miss USA 2018 pageant to be held next year. She succeeds and was crowned by Miss Wisconsin USA 2017 Skylar Witte. Regina has been participating in pageants since she was 14 years old and was also declared the first runner-up in Miss Wisconsin USA 2017 where she won Miss Congeniality award as well.
Regina Gray was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and spent most of her childhood in the South. After relocating to the Midwest with her family, she now proudly calls Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home! She is known and appreciated for her social works immensely, for which she credits both her Southern and Midwestern upbringings.
Unfortunately, Regina lost her father prematurely due to a massive heart attack and her grandmother also has congestive heart disease and that made her to volunteer with the American Heart Association (AHA). Apart from making her career in modelling, Regina also plans on using her new title to expand her current local volunteer work with the AHA so as to increase awareness on Heart disease statewide. Through this platform, she also plans to promote her heart health program "Queen of Hearts" which also focuses on the same.
At the same event, Alexis Loomans was crowned Miss Teen Wisconsin USA 2018 and will now represent her state in Miss Teen USA 2018.
