Kelsey A. Beck '14 won the Miss Boston 2012 competition Sunday evening, beating 10 other contestants and winning $4,500 in scholarships.

During the competition, Beck played the piano, displayed her finest evening wear, and was asked her thoughts on opening casinos in Massachusetts.

Beck is not the first Harvard student to compete in the Miss Boston pageant. Last year, Loren Galler Rabinowitz '10 won the Boston event, became Miss Massachusetts 2010, and competed in the televised Miss America Pageant.

Beck will go on to compete for the title of Miss Massachusetts 2012 in June.
