I am so stoked to chat with Rebecca West Hensinger, a Pennsylvania native who has transformed her love for education and changing lives and turned it into a platform for her 2020 run for Mrs. America!

Rebecca West Hensinger is Mrs. Pennsylvania America 2019. She was awarded the title on April 6, 2019 at the Ware Theater in Lancaster, PA. Her pageant platform is “Educational Equality.” In August, she will compete at the National Mrs. America competition in Las Vegas, NV.

Rebecca is an award-winning Ironman Triathlete. She has completed triathlons on four continents and was a member of Team USA triathlon 2018. She has been awarded All World Athlete Ironman status 3 years in a row and currently holds Silver status for her international top 5% age group finish times. She is currently in active training to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with her husband.
