Cara Mund Biography

Cara Mund is a 2016 honors graduate in Business, Entrepreneurship, and Organizations from Brown University. She is currently pursuing a Juris Doctor Degree at Georgetown University Law Center. With a passion for employment law, Cara is focusing on an individual’s rights in the workplace, with a particular emphasis on state and federal laws that prohibit discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

On September 10, 2017, Cara made history as the first and only woman from the state of North Dakota to become Miss America. At age 14, Cara founded North Dakota’s Annual Make-A-Wish Fashion Show. For 10 years, Cara has brightened 23 Wish Kids’ lives, became a “Certified Wish Granter,” and raised over $80,000 for Make-A-Wish. In 2011, President Barack Obama recognized Cara’s charitable efforts. Cara is a national dance champion and trained four summers with the Radio City Rockettes. Cara’s recent work in the United States Senate and her passion for helping others ignited her own wish — to become the first Miss America from North Dakota.

In her role as Miss America, Cara embarked on a national speaking tour where she traveled an average of 20,000 miles a month and changed location nearly every 48 hours. She advocated the importance of empowering women, education, and community service. She served as the National Goodwill Ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals as well as promoted her own personal platform, the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Cara has been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, CNN, Live with Kelly and Ryan - just to name a few. From Celebrity Talent at the Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade to being one of the youngest guests invited to the 2018 State of the Union, Cara knows the importance of failure, determination, persistence, and courage when it comes to turning a dream into a reality.

As a firm believer that our lives are defined by the legacy we leave, Cara intended to leave a Miss America legacy focused around inspiring others to accomplish their own “firsts.” Due to Cara’s willingness to use her voice and stand up not only for herself but for all of the women that will follow her, Cara’s year as Miss America turned out to be much more than that.
