Miss Missouri USA 2021 is all set to be held on 1st May 2021 where stunning beauties from all over the state will compete for the crown and win the opportunity to represent Missouri at Miss USA 2021. Miss Missouri USA 2020 Megan Renee Kelly will crown her successor at the end of the event finale.
While the 2021 batch boasts of stunning and talented beauties, there is one delegate who is emerging as a front-runner for the crown. Tyler Prugh, a pageant veteran, is vying to bring home the Miss USA 2021 crown with her state win and represent USA at the esteemed Miss Universe pageant.
Tyler works as an Attorney at Prugh Law Office, Attorney at Law. From Waynesville, Tyler studied Sociology, Psychology, and Human Development and Family Studies at Mizzou. She went to Waynesville High School and studied law at Albany Law School.
The stunning beauty is not new to the pageantry as she was Miss Missouri U.S. International 2019 and went on to participate in Miss International USA 2019. Before that, she was Miss Midwest Earth United States 2018 and represented her region in Miss Earth United States 2018. In 2017, Tyler was a part of Miss Missouri USA 2017 and finished Top 15 at the contest. She was also the winner of Miss Grand Missouri 2020.
Tyler wishes to use her voice to share the criminal justice reform platform through the pageant. She said, “My platform for Miss Missouri USA, centers around criminal justice reform from the legal representation side of the justice system to fight for reforms to pretrial detention, public defense systems, to ultimately end harsh criminal justice policies that result in the mass incarceration of disproportionally targeted groups and stand in the way of individuals’ equal protections under the law.”
As Miss Missouri USA 2021 and the official delegate of Miss Missouri USA 2021, Tyler not only wishes to raise funds and volunteer for non-profits focused on criminal justice reform but dedicate a portion of her legal career to representing individuals who lack access to meaningful legal representation.
With her experience in the pageantry and her accomplishments at such a young age, Tyler sure will be a strong contender for the state crown. Last year, Megan Renee Kelly Miss Missouri USA 2020 made it to the top 16 at Miss USA 2020.
