INTRODUCING YOUR NEW MISS NEBRASKA USA 2026 - EMILY LENSER

My dear Emily, what a journey! Years of preparation led you to this moment. It has been such an honor to stand by your side for the past 5 years. You are a testament not only to the fact that hard work leads to success but also that great things happen to great people.

Thank you for always trusting me and the PageantSmart team to help with your communications prep.

From paperwork overview to one on one sessions to mock interviews to meeting with you and @tessscherer 15 mins before you walked into your Miss Nebraska USA interview… preparation met the moment.

Also BIG congratulations on winning BEST INTERVIEW and BEST EVENING GOWN AWARDS!!

Fun fact : This was a back to back win for SmartGirls (Audrey Eckert 2025/ Emily Lenser 2026…. with Audrey going on to win Miss USA 🇺🇸 2025)

Okay so.. we saved the best for last and now we finished the state pageant season.. and I’m more than ready to support all of these girls in Miami this August!! 🌊☀️

I know I say this a lot, but I really am so thankful to be part of this community. Getting to meet so many amazing people, make friendships that will last forever, and support my friends as they chase their dreams is something I never take for granted.

Now that we’ve finished the last Vanbros pageant of 2026, I can’t help but look back at all the memories we’ve made this season. Every trip, every pageant, and every moment has meant so much to me. I’m so excited to keep cheering on all of these amazing girls as they head to Miami this August. I know you’re all going to do incredible!

I’m so thankful to the Vannatta family for giving me the chance to be part of these pageants. Thank you for creating such a welcoming community and for making so many unforgettable memories possible.

I also want to thank my parents for always being there for me. Thank you for driving me from state to state, supporting every crazy idea, and helping me follow my dreams. I couldn’t do any of this without you.

And to all of the girls I’ve met this year, thank you. Thank you for your kindness, your support, the laughs, and all the memories we’ve shared. I’m so grateful for every friendship I’ve made, and I know I’ll carry these memories with me for a very long time.

Congratulations to Kaitlyn and Sam on such an amazing reign! You both have done an incredible job, and I can’t wait to see everything you’ll accomplish next. I’ll always be cheering you on.

I guess that’s it for state pageants this year… or maybe not. 😂

See you all in Miami this August! I can’t wait to see everyone again and make even more memories together. 🤍
