Former Orlando Magic Dancer to Compete for Miss USA

From The Orlando Sentinel

Megan Clementi is qualified to rewire a home and drop-it-like-its hot.

Former Orlando Magic dancer Megan Clementi will compete for the Miss USA title this weekend in LasVegas. But Megan Clementi, who graduated with a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Central Florida, wants the public to understand she is more than just a pretty girl.

“Move over Miss America, Miss USA has talent too…lol I love the Miss America system, but I am excited that the Miss Universe Organization decided to hi-lite our titleholders that have ‘wacky talent’ since we are more than just pretty girls. Standing with me is Miss Maine who is a former professional basketball player. She played in Switzerland and Italy! Impressive, right?! All of you know that I am a dancer, but you may not know that I am a Sweetheart. After leaving the Magic, I applied for a position with the Sweethearts For Soldiers. This group is comprised of former NBA and NFL Dancers/Cheerleaders with our mission being to support our troops.”

From electrical engineering to shaking her bon-bon to wearing evening gowns, Megan Clementi is proving the educational system truly allows its young people to be all they can be.
