McGowan is a model and actress and her hobbies include traveling, photography and spending time with family.

As Miss Nevada Teen USA 2015, 17-year-old Geovanna Hilton hopes to give back to the community and mentor her peers. Hilton has been volunteering since she was 12 years old and has accumulated more than 1,000 hours of community service. She currently donates her time to Three Square Food Bank, where she feels passionate about ending hunger in the Las Vegas community. In her spare time, she works at the KJUL and KOOL radio station as a spokesperson and writer, and enjoys playing tennis, reading books and creating origami.

Throughout their reigns, McGowan and Hilton will make their mark on the community with charitable endeavors, will become style icons on the red carpet and will bring pride and joy to their state while competing at Miss USA and Miss Teen USA next year.
