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.
