Welcome to Season 5!
Jessica Gagen is a fashion model and science educator. She was crowned Miss England in 2022 and made history as the first natural redhead to win the title. She is passionate about aviation and women in STEM fields. For those who do not know what STEM is, it is the field of natural sciences, math, engineering, and technology.
In May of 2022, HowtobeaRedhead.com posted an article telling redhead readers about Gagen's ambition to be Miss England, and how she suffered from severe bullying because of her red hair. Gagen was crowned Miss England 22/23 in October 2022 and is the FIRST redhead to represent England. Read the follow-up article about her win here.
After winning, she posted on IG saying: “The moment a dream came true… I’m blessed to have been crowned the very first redheaded Miss England and strive to empower children facing torment for their red locks whilst showcasing the phenomenal opportunities which lie in STEM careers along the way. Exciting things to come!”
