On October 30, 2011, Amy Spilker, Miss Malcolm, had her dream come true when she was crowned Miss Nebraska USA 2012. Persistence, patience, and perseverance were the keys to her success as she competed four years for the title. The pageant was held for the first time at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in Omaha. Amy was born and raised in the small town of Malcolm, with only a little over 400 people! Amy is the daughter of Bill and Corinne Spilker and she has three brothers, Casey, Andy, and Cody who have all been very supportive of her goal. Amy is currently a junior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, majoring in advertising and public relations with a minor in marketing. Amy’s ultimate goal is to work in the public relations and marketing field for a skin care line. She currently works for the local daily deals company in Lincoln, Zing!Town, as their writer and designer.

With the title Amy plans to do as much as she can this year working with several organizations and speaking to area schools. She has been involved with the non-profit organization, Girls on the Run for four years and enjoys empowering and inspiring young girls to be confident individuals and to set their goals high. Growing up with all brothers she loves getting the opportunity to be a mentor and offer advice to girls. She enjoys sharing her story of how she reached her goal of becoming Miss Nebraska USA and encouraging them to never give up on their own dreams. Amy has also worked with the American Cancer Society and the Salvation Army. She believes strongly in giving back and hopes to promote volunteering during her year.

When she is not making appearances across the state, working, or attending class she enjoys reading, swimming, hiking, fishing, baking, camping and spending time at the lake by her home with family and friends! Amy is so grateful for this opportunity to represent her state at the national Miss USA pageant as well as be a positive role model for young girls all across the state.

Amy is happily available for any appearances, autograph signings, speaking engagements, and interviews.
