AsianConnections asks Nancy Bui about Rita Ng - Miss California 2000
AC Team: Nancy, congratulations on making it through the ten non-stop days of the Miss California 2000!
Since you've spent alot of time recently with the new reigning Miss California can you tell us about her?
Nancy Bui: Rita is a phenomenal woman. She's 22, just graduated
from Stanford University two weeks ago, summa cum laude with a 3.99 grade point average. She will be studying at University of California San Francisco's Medical school when her year as Miss
California is over. She is an awesome role model.
She was not competitive at all with the other contestants. She won her night of talent. (Each night three contestants showcased their talent portion of the competition)
When she won the talent portion for that evening's performance, all she could say was that, "I don't deserve this!" I thought she was great, playing the piano at a level of a
concert level pianist. She was supportive of everyone at the pageant, and among all the women I thought she was the most gracious. I am ecstatic that she won. I know that
Rita will represent the Miss California organization wonderfully at the upcoming Miss America pageant in Atlanta this October.
