WHS Grad Named Miss Massachusetts USA

Natalie Pietrzak, a 2004 graduate, was crowned Miss Massachusetts USA last night. The pageant took place at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium.

“I was in shock. It felt like it came out of nowhere,” Natalie told Westborough Patch this afternoon. “It’s very rare to come into the pageant for the first time and win.”

Natalie may be new to beauty pageants, but her family has been through this before. Her sister Monica, also a Westborough High School graduate, was crowned Miss Connecticut USA in 2008. Parents Halina and Jerzy Pietrzak live on Heywood Road in Westborough.

Natalie, who lives in Somerville, is currently working on her MBA at the University of Massachusetts, where she completed her undergraduate work. Her Linked In profile lists her as Event Design Sales Manager of Art of the Event.

“The friendships that I’ve made will be one of my strongest memories from the competition. Also the support of my family and friends,” she said.

Natalie will represent Massachusetts in the 2012 Miss USA Pageant scheduled to take place in Las Vegas in June.
