Courtney Lynn Lopez, 5’7", brown-eyed brunette beauty originally set her eyes on pursing the title of Miss Wisconsin USA in 2011, but was convinced to pursue her dreams this year after winning a spot in the 2010 Bahamas Beauty tourism calendar and being named 1st Runner-up to the cover during a recent model search. Some very special people encouraged Courtney to purse her dreams in 2010 rather than waiting. Lopez’s dream came true on September 20th in the host city of Middleton, Wisconsin, when she was crowned Miss Wisconsin USA 2010.

Courtney recently moved to Franksville, Wisconsin, with her parents although she was born and raised in Oak Creek and still refers to this community as home. A 2008 graduate of Oak Creek High School, Lopez was voted second by her class as “Most Likely To Be Famous.” She currently is attending the Milwaukee Area Technical College in the registered nursing program and works part-time at Aurora South Shore Hospital in the medical surgical unit. In addition, she will soon be attending the New York Film Academy to explore her interest of being in front of the camera.

A number of firsts occurred when Courtney was named Miss Wisconsin USA 2010. Courtney became the first 2008 Miss Teen USA contestant to win a state title in the Miss division. She is also the first Miss Wisconsin Teen USA to go on to capture the title of Miss Wisconsin USA in 15 years. Ultimately, Courtney’s goal is to become the first Miss Wisconsin USA to be named Miss USA.

Courtney will represent Wisconsin at the 2010 MISS USA Pageant this April. The MISS USA pageant will be televised live on the NBC television network on Sunday, April 18, 2010, from the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casio in Las Vegas, Nevada.
