Pageants

Kaler-Jones is a former Miss Atlantic County, Miss Northern Lakes, Miss Cape Shores, and Miss Coastal Shore. In response to questions about the relevance of the Miss America pageant, she has stated: "What's more relevant than a powerful woman?" She was named Miss New Jersey 2014 on June 14 with the platform: "Empowering Today"?s Youth Through Arts Education." Her talent was a self-choreographed contemporary dance to Beyonc's "Listen" (she is a member of Rutgers Dance Team).
