Jennifer Zweifel, Health Science Major and Track Athlete, Crowned “Miss Northeast Counties.”

Jennifer Zweifel was crowned Miss Northeast Counties on Saturday, February 18, 2012, earning her a spot in the Miss Missouri Pageant.  Jennifer will be using her HLTH 440 project (NEMO Heart Health) as a platform for Miss Missouri.   (This promotes the purchase of AED’s by area businesses, and promotes individuals in the community learning how to use the device.)  Miss Missouri will represent the state at the Miss America Pageant next year. Jennifer also won various scholarships and other awards as part of the title.  Congratulations Jennifer!

Jenny was crowned by another HES grad, Jenna Osseck (’11). Jenna’s sister, Tara Osseck (’07), was also an HES graduate who went on to become Miss Missouri 2009.
