Morgan Vanderhei
Co-Executive Director, Miss Competition
Morgan Vanderhei began competing in the Miss America Organization in 2007, earning the title of Miss Wisconsin Rapids Area 2014 after four attempts. “Representing my hometown was an honor, but my love for this organization started long before I was crowned. Local programs and their dedicated volunteers are the heart of MAO, and my involvement has helped shape me into the woman I am today.” During her year of service, she made 70+ appearances, raised over $3,600 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, and earned more than $4,000 in scholarships. Since crowning her successor, Morgan has continued to support the Miss Wisconsin Rapids Scholarship Organization, as a volunteer before stepping into the Co-ED role in 2020.
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with minors in Communication and Economics from UW-Stevens Point. Currently, she works as a Business Management Instructor at Mid-State Technical College. Morgan lives in Wisconsin Rapids with her dog, Havok, and cats, Thelma Lou and Opie. She enjoys the outdoors, reading, cooking, and time with loved ones—including her furbabies.
