Interesting Facts:

    At the age of 19, Pack was selected as a finalist for cycle 12 of America's Next Top Model. During her time in the competition, she won a runway challenge and had two second callouts. She also did not receive a makeover because host Tyra Banks believed she looked modelesque as she was. Watch Miss USA 2012 Live from Las Vegas, Nevada June 3, 2012. Catch it.

    Pack was the eighth contestant eliminated from the competition and the first to be eliminated abroad in Sao Paulo, Brazil after a photo shoot where the contestants emulated the late Carmen Miranda. Judges Miss J. Alexander and Fernanda Motta believed that she looked "exhausted" and that "the sparkle was missing" in Pack's photo, despite Pack's insistence that Jay Manuel was complimentary of her photos. After her elimination, Pack stated in a media conference that she felt that she was misrepresented "as a rich and arrogant California girl". She further stated "It's almost disgusting to me because it makes me upset that they would show me in this light when it's completely the opposite of who I am" and described Top Model's editing as "shady".

      Following her elimination from America's Next Top Model, Pack signed to Ford Models in Los Angeles. She has modeled for Jockey International and BL!SSS magazine. She has also walked for Billabong and Dona Daneshi.

Pack participated in the Miss California USA pageant as "Miss Hoag Hospital", where she was interning while attending UCI. Despite never having participated in any previous beauty pageants,  Pack won the title. She will compete in the Miss USA 2012 competition on June 3, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
