Teresa Benitez
Teresa Benitez delivered a message about acceptance and human rights during the Miss America program in Atlantic City, N.J. The 2001 political science graduate won the Miss Nevada competition July 13, 2002 in Mesquite.

Benitez, then a 24-year-old Reno resident, had been an advocate for low-income women and children in the state since 1996, when she co-founded the Nevada Empowered Women’s Project.

She performed a monologue at the competition based on Dennis Shepherd’s statement in court during the trial of those who murdered his son, Matthew, in a 1998 hate crime in Wyoming.
