Stearns was crowned Miss Maine USA 2006 on Thanksgiving Weekend, 2005 at the The Sheraton Hotel in South Portland, ME. This was her first year competing in the pageant, and she was crowned by outgoing titleholder Erica Commeau.

On April 21, 2006 she represented Maine in the Miss USA 2006 pageant broadcast live from Baltimore, Maryland. In the pageant, she became the first delegate from Maine to make the semi-finals since 1977. Stearns placed in the top fifteen, and competed in the swimsuit competition, but did not advance to the top ten.[1] Nineteen at the time, Stearns was one of the youngest delegates competing in 2006.

Stearns was also one of twenty six Miss USA Delegates who appeared on Deal or No Deal in April 2006.

She graduated from John Bapst Memorial High School in 2004, and has gone on to study journalism and dance at the University of Maine in Orono, ME. Stearns has received a number of academic awards in the past two years.

Her interests include pilates, surfing but her main dedication is to dance. By the age of fourteen, Stearns had achieved 3 national dance championship titles (including both team and individual). Her long term goal is to open her own dance studio.
