Miss South Dakota State Fair

Reigning Miss South Dakota State Fair Natalie Biegler

Hello! My name is Natalie Biegler, and I'm a 20 year old Senior at the University of Mary. I grew up in Timber Lake, SD, on a farm, and spent my time volunteering at my home parish, writing for our local newspaper, dancing in the studio, falling off my unicycle way too often, and of course, jamming to Green Day and Weezer in the tractor, gaining that good work ethic any good farm kid has. Currently I'm getting my Bachelor's degree in Biology with hopes of going into Optometry, and getting experience at a local eye clinic. The Miss America Opportunity has been an outlet for me to showcase my talent, be supported in my service initiatives, network with community members, and meet other amazing South Dakotans. I'm so excited to be your Miss State Fair!

My community service initiative is Career Catalyst, which is a program targeted towards late high school and early college students, helping them develop and market a skillset that will help them get a job and grow a career in the current volatile job market. Specifically, I focus on resume and cover letter building/editing, mock interviews and FAQ preparation, and guidance on searching for jobs. I do this by hosting workshops in my local high schools and college campuses, and some 1-1 counseling.
