ZENA MALAK
MISS ILLINOIS USA 2016

24 | CAROL SPRINGS | 4TH RUNNER-UP 2013

Zena Malak is a first-generation American currently living in Chicago, Illinois. She is three-quarters Lebanese and one-quarter Egyptian, and while she has traveled to Lebanon enough to be fluent in Arabic, she hopes to someday visit her relatives in Egypt as well. She recently graduated from DePaul University with a degree in Business Management and Entrepreneurship, and worked two jobs at the same time. Zena hopes to earn an MBA and become a successful entrepreneur and a role model to young women striving to achieve their goals in the business world. Zena is a self-proclaimed "cat lady" and loves all animals, but especially elephants - she even "adopted" one named Misty! She loves the diversity and culture of Chicago - and especially loves indulging in Chicago style deep-dish pizza. After watching her cousin compete for Miss Illinois Teen USA when she was 11, Zena dreamed of becoming the role model and spokeswoman that is Miss USA.
