She went to Texas Christian University between 2013-2017 and graduated with two degrees: Child Development and Strategic Communication with Business.

She did her clinical rotations, interning at the Children’s Hospital at OU Medical Centre in 2017 and worked on becoming a certified child life specialist. Summers also worked on the promotions team of the Dallas Cowboys. 

Summers’s pageantry career started before university, when she won the Miss Nebraska Teen USA competition in 2012.

Four years later, Summers returned to the world of beauty pageants to compete in the Miss Nebraska competition, representing Omaha.

She placed second, but won the competition this year, taking her to the Miss USA contest several months later.

After winning Miss Nebraska 2018, Summers became involved with the National Eating Disorders Association in order to raise awareness about the conditions and mental health.

The Miss USA 2018 final immediately cut the contestant field down to 15 based on how everyone performed in the preliminary rounds in the run up to the broadcast.

Subsequent evening gown, swimsuit and interview rounds narrowed the field down to three contestants: Nebraska’s Summers, Caelynn Miller-Keyes of North Carolina and Carolina Urrea of Nevada.

The contestants were asked what they would put down on a sign that they would take to a march.

Summers wrote ‘speak your voice’, encouraging people to ‘listen to each other,’ saying that was something people across America should do.

Summers says she wants to promote a healthy relationship with food. According to Miss Universe, Summers is very keen on fitness: ‘When not busy in scrubs, she can often be found in workout gear teaching pilates or taking a dance party cycling class.’
