Lee was the first runner­up in the Miss America 2014 pageant, Miss California 2013, Miss Chinatown USA 2010, and Miss California's Outstanding Teen 2008.  Lee was born in San Francisco, California to an American­ born Chinese father and Taiwanese mother. Lee graduated from Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts. She later received her B.A. in Human Biology and M.A. in Communication from Stanford University in 2013.   She was also the recipient of the STEM scholarship and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. In the final moments of the Miss America pageant, Lee and Miss New York Nina Davuluri were the last contestants left on the stage. They were approached by co­host Lara Spencer who asked how they were feeling at that moment. Davuluri stated that she and Lee were "both so proud. We’re making history right here, standing here as Asian­Americans.” In a later interview with NPR's Michel Martin, Davuluri described the moment as a, "very surreal, out­of­body experience, being there in the final two. I was holding hands with Miss California, Crystal Lee, and we were both standing there at such a historic moment ­ two Asian­Americans who were going to take the title and to be a new symbol of hope and encouragement." Crystal Lee has held the following pageant titles: Miss America 2014 First Runner­Up, Miss California 2013, Miss Silicon Valley 2013, Miss South Counties 2012, Miss San Francisco 2011, Miss Chinatown USA 2010, and Miss California's Outstanding Teen 2008.
