    OMAHA, Nebraska (KETV) — We have a new Miss USA, and she’s from the Cornhusker State.

Miss Nebraska Audrey Eckert from Lincoln competed in the pageant in Reno, Nevada.

She beat out Miss New Jersey Ivy Harrington and Miss Oregon Chantéa McIntyre for the crown.

According to her bio on Miss USA Nebraska, Eckert graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

She was a Husker cheer captain and earned Big Ten academic honors.

Eckert founded “Queen of Your Feed,” which is an initiative that aims to educate youth about being safe online.

“She created this platform to help youth protect their digital identity, foster positivity online, and use social media as a tool to advocate for causes they care about while building their personal brand,” said the website.

Eckert will move on to compete in Miss Universe 2025, which is set for Nov. 21 in Thailand.
