SPARK Episode 13
What do Miss America 2023 and a nuclear engineer have in common? Well…they’re both Grace Stanke!
A recent nuclear engineering graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Grace’s journey has been all but ordinary. At the age of 14, she began competing in pageants to improve her performance skills and found a passion in the Miss America Organization. She won Miss Wisconsin in 2022 then Miss America in 2023.
Over her year of Miss America, she’s advocated for nuclear energy and STEM education on the global stage across 27 states and 7 countries, including at COP28. She hopes to use her platform to motivate young people with diverse backgrounds to pursue energy careers.
After her time as Miss America, Grace will join Constellation Energy, where she will work as a nuclear engineer while continuing her advocacy efforts.
