Nyla Edwards and Deputy Mayor Nancy Adams

We told you back in August about Nyla Edwards, the Maplewood teen who won the Miss New Jersey Pre-Teen competition and is on to the national finals.

She is attending the nationwide competition in California this week.

We caught up with her a few weeks ago after she was honored by the Township Committee for her accomplishments.

Watch below as she discusses the pageant, life in Maplewood and what she hopes to gain from the experience.
