Cristin Duren is Miss Florida USA for 2006.
Duren comes from Panama City, Florida. On April 21, 2006, she competed for the title of Miss USA 2006 in Baltimore, Maryland, and placed fourth runner-up to Tara Conner of Kentucky. She was also one of 26 Miss USA delegates who appeared on Deal or No Deal in April, 2006.
Duren competed as Miss Florida Teen USA in the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant held in South Padre Island, Texas, where she was awarded the title of Miss Photogenic. She first competed for the title of Miss Florida USA in 2002, where she placed in the top fifteen, and then at Miss Alabama USA 2005, where she placed second runner-up. She was eligible to compete in Alabama because of her college affiliations. In the Miss USA 2006 pageant she also won the Miss Photogenic award, becoming the first woman to win this award at both Miss Teen USA and Miss USA.
Duren graduated from A. Crawford Mosley High School in 1999 and went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences with a minor in Computer Science from the University of Alabama in 2003. One month after graduating college she secured a job in pharmaceutical sales at First Horizon Pharmaceutical Corporation, but she is now a local entertainment television hostess/spokeswoman.
While at the University of Alabama, besides cheerleading, Cristin Duren was president of her sorority, Phi Mu, and participated in various community projects.
Duren appeared on The Daily Show on Thursday, May 4th, 2006 in a segment by Dan Bakkedahl "Dr. Spin, Medicine Woman" on pharmaceuticals' efforts in recommending more expensive, less effective drugs over generics through somewhat unethical practices, including the practice of hiring attractive sales representatives (primarily women).
Her interests include shopping, dancing, listening to music, horseback riding, wakeboarding, Alabama football games, and wardrobe designing.
