A native of Anchorage, Jordan Naylor was crowned Miss Alaska USA on 14 January 2023 and represented Alaska at Miss USA 2023 in Reno, Nevada. Jordan was Miss Alaska’s Outstanding Teen 2012 when she was just 14 and placed first runner-up at Miss Alaska 2017 and 2018. In what must be the quickest transition in the history of Miss USA and Miss America, Jordan went on to win the Miss Alaska 2024 title just one week after passing on her Miss Alaska USA crown. She will be the first Alaskan to compete at Miss America’s Outstanding Teen, Miss USA and Miss America.
