The newly crowned Miss America, at 17, hasn’t yet graduated from college.

But Teresa Scanlan’s got big career plans above and beyond the beauty pageant world, reports People.

After college, she wants to go to law school. Then she hopes to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court. After that, she wants to become president of the United States.

Scanlan can’t do so, however, until she is 35, she points out, noting “I’ve got another lifetime to wait” before reaching this age.

A Miss America press release provides further details.
