Sarah Bazey: Mrs International, Manufacturer, American Pageants

Sarah Bazey is identified as “One woman’s inspiring path from helicopter crash survivor to Mrs. International 2012.” She is a former pageant queen, a Harvard Business School graduate, and an accomplished business professional. You may have known this from her website www.sarahbazey.com, but we are going to learn more about her and how she became Mrs. International 2012 and the leader in manufacturing reinforced steel used in concrete paving throughout Canada and the United States.

Sarah had been competing in pageants since 1983. Sarah started her pageant journey with American Pageants when it was the Miss Teen of America organization. She purchased the program in 2014 and it was rebranded to American Pageants in 2017 when she expanded it to additional age divisions.

Her first pageant was Miss Teen of Minnesota which she won. This opened up many opportunities for her when she learned the true beauty of pageantry is to better yourself, the people around you and to build lasting relationships. This allowed her to compete at Miss Teen of America in 1984 where she remained a finalist.

After Sarah competed in Miss Teen of America, she went on to support the organization as a staff assistant and became close with the founder, Warren Alexander. He encouraged her to branch out and compete in the Miss America system. Her original talent was figure skating on plastic ice, however, when MAO established a time limit for set ups she had to find a different talent. Again it was Warren who suggested she try ventriloquism, which helped her win the Miss Metropolitan title.
