Growing up, Pontius said she used to love spending hours memorizing "hundreds of numbers in pi."

Megan Swason, 27, works to empower women in all of her ventures. Not only does she volunteer with RISE to help incarcerated women, but she's also the CEO of her own organization: The Powerhouse Project.

Through the latter, she offers everything from one-on-one coaching sessions to an empowerment podcast where she's interviewed "some of the world's most prolific women," as she wrote for her Miss USA bio.

Music is also important to the Omaha native, who graduated magna cum laude from Belmont University's Commercial Music - Voice Program with a minor in music business. You can find one of her original songs called "Plenty" on Spotify.

Victoria Olona, 27, hails from Las Vegas, though she's really a citizen of the world. She's visited 18 different countries and temporarily lived in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Spain, where she once ran with bulls.

And that's far from the most daring thing she's done. Olona is also a fan of extreme sports like ice climbing and trick riding, and food that's extremely spicy. As she said in her Miss USA bio, Olona adds Siracha "to everything" and was eating "salsa and red chili that most adults wouldn't touch because it was too hot."

In her spare time, Olona enjoys modeling, acting, and singing, and is currently working on her first album and comedy series. She also makes time to advocate for responsible gun ownership, as she previously survived gun violence.

Alyssa Fernandes, 25, is all about health and fitness. She earned both bachelor's and master's degrees in dietetics and nutrition, and now works as a registered dietitian.

Through her job, she hopes to "provide others with evidence-based nutrition education," and encourage people to treat themselves kindly while working towards healthier lifestyles," according to her Miss USA bio.

That being said, it's no surprise that Fernandes — who is from Merrimack, New Hampshire — has a plethora of healthy hobbies. She's particularly fond of making new recipes, riding bikes, running, and dancing in a variety of styles, including jazz, ballet, and pointe. She's even landed the leading role in "The Nutcracker" more than 10 times.

She hosts workshops through the One Love organization, and specifically focuses on helping people understand the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships.

Cecilia Rodriguez, 27, is from Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Being trilingual, Rodriguez currently works as a language teacher for preschool students. She can speak English, Spanish, and even French after studying the language at the Catholic University of Paris. In the future, however, she hopes to become a special-education teacher.

Another goal Rodriguez has is to visit all the Major League Baseball stadiums in her lifetime. She's a huge fan of both the sport and traveling, and has been to 13 out of 30 locations so far, according to her Miss USA bio.

And when not teaching or sightseeing, Rodriguez also volunteers for the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen to honor her mother who died of cancer when Rodriguez was 10 years old.

Andreia Gibau, 25, was born into poverty in Cape Verde — and she's come a long way since. She immigrated to the US at the age of 7 and landed in Brooklyn. Though she didn't speak English at the time, she now knows four languages, including Cape Verdean Creole, Portuguese, and Spanish.

"This has given me the ability to connect with so many different types of people, not only in New York, but also while I have traveled," Gibau added about the languages in her Miss USA bio.

She also went on to graduate from St. John's University with a degree in public relations. Now working as a writer, speaker, and philanthropist, Gibau spends much of her time advocating for underprivileged children through her initiative "More Than Enough."

While attending the University of Tennessee to earn her bachelor's degree in supply-chain management and international business, she studied abroad in Bordeaux, France. The location is one of 22 countries the contestant has visited throughout Europe, Asia, and North America.

Axhoj is also passionate about "changing the state of the homeless community across America" by working with the Home Again foundation, according to her Miss USA bio. She's also served as a mentor for the Big Brothers, Big Sisters nonprofit organization for the past two years.

Macy Christianson, 22, recently graduated summa cum laude from the University of North Dakota with a bachelor of science degree in psychology — and she's not stopping there.

The Minot, North Dakota, native also has plans to attend graduate school this year and earn another degree in marriage and family therapy, according to her Miss USA bio.

The goal mirrors Christianson's overall passion for helping others. She's previously worked closely with the Special Olympics, Love Your Melon, and SADD, among other organizations. She's also outspoken against drunk driving, and has worked with the North Dakota Department of Transportation to raise awareness of its dangers.

Sthephanie Miranda, 26, is dedicated to raising awareness for Alzheimer's disease in honor of her grandmother. The two became close when Miranda lived in Puerto Rico as a child, and their relationship stayed strong even after she moved to Ohio at the age of 5.

Since then, Miranda has started documenting her own life and memories on YouTube while also advocating to find a cure for Alzheimer's. She was even named the honorary chair for 2020's Walk To End Alzheimer's in her hometown of Campbell, Ohio.

Additionally, the contestant is passionate about traveling, photography, "connecting with her generation," and "sharing her Puerto Rican culture," according to her Miss USA bio.

Mariah Jane Davis, 25, could make history as the first member of the Choctaw Nation to be crowned Miss USA.

"During a visit to my tribe's morning prayer group, about a hundred members of the Choctaw Nation formed a huge prayer circle around me and placed their hands on me while one of the female leaders of the tribe prayed over me and my journey," she wrote in her Miss USA bio.

Davis, who previously survived a suicide attempt, hopes to use her platform to advocate for mental health through her social campaign #LiftUpYourSister, which gives women resources and a support group to "restore hope."

She also currently works in reality television, and has dreams of becoming an entertainment-television host. In her spare time, Davis enjoys traveling outside of her hometown Norman, Oklahoma.

Katerina Villegas, 27, grew up in Hillsboro, Oregon. She's currently a doctorate student, and hopes to work as a clinical air-force psychologist in the future. Her health-focused career was largely inspired by her two younger cousins who have autism.

Ultimately, Villegas hopes "to challenge our youth by encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones and grow in confidence," according to her Miss USA bio. And she leads by example.

Not only did she sing the national anthem at a Track Cycling World Cup event, but Villegas also has two Billboard Chart songs to her name.

Victoria Piekut, 24, has been resilient since childhood. She grew up in Pittsburgh and was diagnosed with both Ehler's Danlos Syndrome and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome at the time.

But she never let the syndromes define her. In her Miss USA bio, the contestant wrote: "I now live a healthy life and am an advocate for invisible and rare conditions."

Piekut is also a classically-trained opera singer, for which she's won a variety of awards, and the president of her fashion company Wight Elephant Boutique, which she began in a college dorm room. The business now has multiple storefronts and 20 employees.

Jonet Nichelle, 25, began dancing at the age of 2, and later performed at Super Bowl 53 as a New England Patriots cheerleader, according to her Miss USA bio.

She also competed on a track-and-field team after receiving a four-year athletic scholarship to Post University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in human services.

In the meantime, she works as a juvenile correctional officer, and advocates for survivors of domestic violence by volunteering at a local shelter.

Hannah Jane Curry, 21, is passionate about educating others. She's currently working toward a degree in elementary education at Newbury College, and later plans on working as a fourth-grade teacher in a high-risk school.

Advocating for those with special needs is close to Curry's heart. She even created an initiative, "See the Possibilities — Inclusion for Disabled Youth, Teens, and Adults," to help people see possibilities in the place of disabilities.

According to her Miss USA bio, "growing up with an older brother who is globally, mentally, and physically delayed" is what helped Curry realize that "compassion and patience are qualities she relies on."

Kalani Jorgensen, 21, has vast experience working as a licensed cosmetologist. Not only has she worked behind the scenes on various television and film sets, but she also owns a men's hair salon called "Cross Hairs."

It was her mother's treatment for breast cancer, however, that served as "a turning point" for Jorgensen's life, according to her Miss USA bio. She's now dedicated to "serving, inspiring, and encouraging others to fulfill their goals and dreams."

When she's not working, the Sioux Falls native enjoys exercising at the gym and bowling with a local league.

Justice Enlow, 26, began sewing at the age of 8 years old. As an adult, she graduated magna cum laude from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in 2017, and now works as a director of media and branding for nonprofit organizations.

The contestant also loves to travel and perform. So far, she's been trained as a violinist and vocalist, and she's also visited 14 countries and 38 states.

Taylor Kessler, 24, hopes to work as a sideline reporter for the NFL in the future — and she's close to achieving her dream. She recently earned a degree in communications and broadcast production.

Through the pageant, however, Kessler hopes she can encourage others to have a positive mindset and "take the road less traveled," according to her Miss USA bio. She also plans to use the crown as a platform for speaking out against domestic violence, as she is a survivor herself.

Kessler, who is fluent in American Sign Language, grew up in Houston.

Rachel Slawson, 25, is bisexual — which means she'll make history as the first openly LGBT+ woman to compete at Miss USA.

Prior to her pageant career, Slawson modeled in Paris and taught English in India, among other accomplishments. She's also a certified crisis counselor, a public speaker for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, and an advocate for ending mental health-related stigmas, inspired by her experience with bipolar disorder.

According to her Miss USA bio, Slawson's life is "fueled by her passion for art and adventure."

Shannah Weller, 25, has made a name for herself in a male-dominated industry. She works as an import specialist at Collins Aerospace, which is one of the nation's largest companies in that field.

The job has "afforded her the opportunity to engage in many different cultures, languages, and customs from around the world," according to her Miss USA bio.

Weller also works to help others live healthy lifestyles, and raise awareness for those with Cystic Fibrosis, a condition that her late sister had. She's also passionate about redefining beauty and women's roles in society.

Susie Evans, 27, hails from Poquoson, Virginia. Recently, however, she spent two years in Japan, where she performed at Tokyo Disneyland and practiced Brazilian jujitsu. She also backpacked around the world after graduating from Lindenwood University.

Now, Evans works as a program manager at a marketing agency. She also runs her own videography company, manages an initiative called Media That Matters, and volunteers as a "big sister" through the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America program.

The contestant added in her Miss USA bio that "comedy, a smile, and shared laughter are just a few ways she's been able to connect with people all over the world."

Imani Blackmon, 25, grew up as an only child. She trained in a variety of dance styles at the time, leading to her current role as a professional dancer at Walt Disney World. Simultaneously, Blackmon serves as a host of a talk show and attends Bellevue University to study broadcast journalism and family sciences.

As the first Black woman to win Miss Washington Teen USA, Blackmon is "passionate about making representation and inclusion in media, society, and the workplace a top priority," according to her Miss USA bio.

To do so, she works with organizations that prioritize inclusion, such as Miss Amazing, You Grow Girl!, and Best Buddies. She's also the co-author of "She Wants to Move," a book that shares the voices of "ambitious females worldwide."

Charlotte Bellotte, 26, grew up in Charles Town, West Virginia. She now holds bachelor's and master's degrees in communications and political communication after graduating with a 3.9 GPA. She also works as a research assistant for the US Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

Because she was raised in an aviation family, Bellotte flew a plane before getting her driver's license. Her background also led her to develop an "adventurous spirit and passion for solo travel," according to her Miss USA bio.

With the potential Miss USA platform, Bellotte hopes she can create leadership training for young girls and women so that they can discover the confidence needed to "voice their opinions and take an active role in our political system."

Gabriella Deyi, 28, previously worked as a research scientist after earning degrees in health science and chemistry. But after accepting an unpaid internship in the journalism industry, according to her Miss USA bio, Deyi now works as a TV reporter in her hometown of Madison, Wisconsin.

The contestant also serves as an ambassador for Mental Health of America, inspired by her family's history of depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide attempts. Her parents immigrated to the US, making Deyi a first-generation American.

For fun, Deyi loves to embrace cultures. Not only is she fluent in Spanish, but she's also traveled to 25 countries. She's also extremely competitive, having 14 years' worth of figure-skating experience, and winning titles at three buffalo-wing eating contests.

Lexi Revelli, 26, spent a lot of time with nature while growing up in Lyman, Wyoming. She even helped to raise wild animals like squirrels and raccoons alongside her mom at a local vet clinic, according to her Miss USA bio.

But it's holistic health for humans that Revelli is extremely passionate about. She's set on "finding a balance between western medicine and holistic health" after her brother died as a result of a prescription-drug overdose.

She's even created a nonprofit organization with her family called Carson Cares, which offers scholarships and donation-based services.
