I'm excited to be your new Miss Deaf Utah!


“I joined the Miss Deaf Utah program because I have experienced teen pageants. Also, there were professional workshops provided by MDUAP that really helped me. I thought it would be a good experience to meet people, to show who I am and that I can represent Utah. My greatest challenge in competing came when I was in a bad car accident 3 days before the competition. I wanted to give up, but decided to stick with it and as a result, I became Miss Deaf Utah 1st runner-up and am now Miss Deaf Utah.” Currently I am working for Sorenson Communications in their marketing division doing Tele-education. I help train others on how to use Video Relay Services. I hope to go back to school, possibly in the field of Communication.
I look forward to serving the Deaf Community, and being a role model as I want to step up and share awareness on my platform, “Multi-ethnic to Deaf Community.” I'm grateful for giving me an opportunity to represent Utah community for the deaf and to make this experience positive in the future!
