As the first runner-up, Gankiewicz was announced as the replacement for former Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt, who stepped aside May 6.
Savannah Gankiewicz , a model who leads a female empowerment nonprofit, will hold the title until August.
"I am dedicated to taking action and making a difference. With my background as a certified mental health first aid responder and training in anti-bullying suicide prevention, I understand, the importance of prioritizing your well-being and advocating for those in need. I believe that the true change starts from within and I am determined to lead by example and empower the class of 2024 and beyond," she said addressing a crowd in a hotel in Waikiki, a small aquarium in the background.
"My values were compromised. Silencing women is not the definition of pageantry," she told CNN Wednesday. "As a collective, the 2023 class came together in solidarity with Noelia, but that wasn't enough for me... and that's why I resigned."
