The Miss USA competition gets under way in April and among those 51 beauty queens, one will be from Central Florida.
Miss Florida USA is Jessica Rafalowski, from DeLand and she just turned 22 years old.
The big event is April 11 from the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, with Donnie and Marie Osmond hosting.
It is a busy time for Rafalowski.
"I have to work out every day. I have a personal fitness trainer. We're out there for 2 1/2 weeks and we have to change outfits at least two, three times a day.
Rafalowski told News 13 that she is busy practicing her public speakin in preparation for the competition.
Rafalowski took a semester off from Stetson University to get ready for the Miss USA pageant.
She said she is looking forward to seeing Las Vegas.
If she won, she would move to New York City and stay in the Trump Tower with Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe.
Rafalowski told News 13 that when she moved to Florida it was hard leaving her family in Connecticut behind.
"I'm very close with my family. They are everything to me, so it was very difficult leaving them and being forced to be independent and rely on myself," Rafalowski said.
The Miss USA pageant will be broadcast live from Las Vegas on the NBC television network April 11.
