Rebekah Johnson
A PR professional for 15 years, Rebekah Johnson has worked for industries spanning healthcare, automotive, not-for-profit and government agencies. A native of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Rebekah moved to Baton Rouge in 2007, when she drank the water, tasted the familiar spices, embraced the humidity, and immediately became an LSU fan.
Chelsey Laborde
When Chelsey was accepted into college and received a college email address, she joined Facebook. Literally all on the same day. Fact is, whether she likes to admit it or not, she was on MySpace before that. Interacting on social media is second nature to her and it’s something she's passionate about. As a #KrewedeCrown member, Chelsey is excited to share all #MissUSA experiences from a local's perspective.
Brandy McMills
Brandy is the LSU Coordinator at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, and an LSU Manship School alumna. When she is not working, Brandy is involved in the community as a BRSocME board member and a JDRF Baton Rouge chapter volunteer. A native of Louisiana, Brandy now lives in St. Amant with her fiancée, dog Bailey, cat Abner and two pet goats, Jake and Elwood.
Trace Purvis
Trace Purvis has worked in the digital realm over his entire career. After fulfilling web producer roles with Sports Illustrated.com, NASCAR.com, and PGA.com, Trace moved back to his native state to handle similar roles within the LSU system.
