Why should Miss New Jersey 2015, Lindsey Giannini, be crowned Miss America?

Well, she can eat a whole pizza, do magic, is encouraging people to stop texting and driving, is pretty good in the kitchen, and knows her way around Atlantic City.

She also has a 3.9 GPA at Rowan University, she's a wake surfer, and she's got more than 30 nicknames, according to the folks at the Miss New Jersey pageant.

But don't take our word for it. Check our her video above and decide if you're convinced for yourself.

The 2016 Miss America Competition will be broadcast live from Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall Sunday, Sept. 13 at 9 p.m. on ABC. This year marks the pageant's 95th.
