Washington, D.C. (WOWT Washington Bureau) Miss Nebraska made the trek to Washington D.C. this week where she’s seeing the sights with 51 other Miss America contestants.

Aleah Peters met with pageant representatives hoping to impress before the September competition.

She's using her title to instill change. She said she was cyber bullied in high school by girls she thought were her friends.

Aleah said, “I've used Miss Nebraska and my local title even as a platform to go around and share with schools how to treat one another and how to embrace each other and value our differences rather than tear us apart."

Aleah is also hoping to impress the judges with her personality and baton twirling.
