Ruby B. Johnson: Miss Nevada USA 2018 Contestant and Mining Engineer

Not only is Ruby a mining engineer for the US Forest Service, but she is also gearing up to compete as Miss Elko USA in the Miss Nevada USA pageant in January, with goals of being Miss USA and then Miss Universe! Yeah, I would be exhausted with all of that going on too! Nonetheless, Ruby still made the time to share a little bit about how she came to be Elko’s very own Wonder Woman...Ruby is excited to honor the name of our town because she has a genuine love for our area. “I love living in a state that’s mining friendly...I love being a part of a field that does well for the community. And one of the things I have so much joy about is Elko’s feel for community. Whether it’s my co-workers, my friends or through my local church, my faith is very important to me, the hospitality of Elko is really wonderful...I would like it to be! I see no reason to leave unless God tells me I’m outta here! But for now, I’m loving it.”
