Noelia Voigt, the former Miss Utah and winner of the 2023 Miss USA pageant, has announced her resignation from the title. “In life, I strongly value the importance of making decisions that feel best for you and your mental health,” she wrote on social media. “As individuals, we grow through experiencing different things in life that lead us to learning more about ourselves.” She reflected on her favorite moments as Miss USA, including advocacy for various causes, including anti-bullying, dating violence awareness, immigration rights, and highlighting her Venezuelan-American heritage as the first woman of Venezuelan descent to win Miss USA.
