I sat down with Abbie Stockard, the current 2025 Miss America, to discuss her path to the crown and her future in healthcare.
She is currently a senior at Auburn University School of Nursing and looking forward to being a Pediatric nurse.
We talked about her 'why' she joined the pageant, the expectations from the judges, was it everything she thought it would be, meeting the other contestants, social media influences, what made her stand out and her responsibilities as Miss America.
She tells us about her advocacy, the healthcare platform, her visit with President Trump in the Oval Office, her NBA boyfriend's reaction to her winning the crown, the best thing about being Miss America and her future in healthcare.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
