She would go on to represent Arizona at the 2010 Miss USA competition, but she didn’t advance past the opening round. In 2014, thanks to her Guam heritage, she competed for the Miss Guam Universe title – and she won! She would go on to represent the country in the Miss Universe 2014 competition. Miss Colombia, Paulina Vega ultimately won it.

She will attain her masters’ degree in psychology. She’s also a yoga instructor and a founder of the Mama Gang fashion line.
“I find myself to feel for every mother, no matter what her lifestyle, culture, or location in this world,” she says on the Mama Gang website. “Regardless of anything, mamas are all called to strength, sacrifice, and unconditional love like no one else in this world. It is a beautiful blessing, but also a responsibility we choose to honor. Although everyone in this entire world has a mother regardless of her involvement or the journey… it is the most underrepresented majority if we think about it.”
