One-armed beauty queen wins Miss Iowa

Nicole Kelly plans to use her new title to help advocate for people with disabilities. (From Miss Iowa Facebook page) 

Disability will never be a hindrance in pursuing a dream - even a beauty queen dream...

Nicole Kelly, 23, crowned as the new Miss Iowa 2013 was born without her left forearm. In the pageant site MissIowa.com, Kelly mentioned that despite not having a left forearm, it didn't stop her from doing things she opted to do: sports, swimming and diving.

According to her biography, Kelly is studying directing and theater management at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and she hopes to work in the Broadway.

She will be representing the state of Iowa to the Miss America pageant in September.
