Hi, I'm Miss Texas.
I advocate for my platform, Y’all Means All. I aim to make every child feel at home through policy writing, diversity & inclusion school programs, digital representation, and my international nonprofit, The Tulong Foundation. I am the state wide and national ambassador for The Texas Cares for Children 501(c)(3).

My Platform | Y'all Means All
Belonging is a fundamental human need. The feeling of "belonging" has a critical impact on a child's overall wellbeing and academic performance. I aim to make every person feel that they belong through diversity and inclusion efforts. These efforts include policymaking, legal advocacy, digital representation, my keynote speeches, and my international nonprofit.
MY NONPROFIT | THE TULONG FOUNDATION
Our Mission
Founded in 2015 alongside my mom, The Tulong Foundation's mission is to ensure that every child has equitable access to education, food, and wellness resources. Our previous philanthropic projects include building a library, constructing water wells, and providing micro-entrepreneurial loans to women in provincial villages. To date, the Tulong Foundation has financially supported more than 45 students in South East Asia. We are formally partnered with the United Nations, UNICEF, and Southern Methodist University.
$50,000 in Scholarships Won
I entered my first Miss Texas local competition with just $50 in my checking account. I needed money for law school. I wore an old prom school dress, borrowed a suit from my mom, and fundraised my registration fee through friends and family. One local later, I was hooked! If you are interested in competing, please don't hesitate to reach out by emailing me below.
