Parkview Lass Named Miss Baton Rouge

The new Miss Baton Rouge is Devin Boyd, a grad-uate of Parkview Baptist School and the LSU School of Mass Communications, where she had a 3.63 average and was on the Honor Roll.

In an interview with the Capital City News, Devin said that so far the most interesting part of her job as Miss Baton Rouge was hosting the contestants in the Miss USA Pageant in Baton Rouge last month.

Devin said her biggest goal right now is to do a good job as Miss Baton Rouge and serve the community successfully.

She also has  her eyes on the Miss Louisiana USA title, which will chosen Oct. 23-24 in Lafayette. The winner will get to compete for the title of Miss USA.  “The date and location of next year’s Miss USA Pageant haven’t been announced yet,” she said, “but wouldn’t it be wonderful to be from Baton Rouge and get to compete in the Miss USA Pageant right in your own hometown!”  Miss USA is a preliminary to the Miss Universe Pageant.

Devin has lots of experience in beauty pageants.  She’s been a finalist for Miss Louisiana USA on three previous occasions and was 1st runner up in 2012.

She graduated from Parkview in 2008 and LSU in 2012.  She has interned at Tiger TV and WBRZ, where she did sports reporting.  She is also a professional model. Her goal is to become a sports journalist.
