Miss Long Beach 2020 & 2021

I was crowned Miss Long Beach 2020 & 2021 (due to COVID-19). This was a very different year for any Miss Long Beach in history, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I am devoted to serving the community and have made an impact in classrooms nationally. Aside from volunteering, I have encouraged individuals to pursue STEAM careers, especially those in underserved and underrepresented communities.

Photos below are brush the surface of my work as Miss Long Beach. For more information on my current Miss Long Beach work, please visit my Instagram linked in my “About” page, or feel free to contact me.
