Connect With Me
Hello there!
My name is Sarah, and
I am a sophomore at the University of Houston, majoring in Strategic Communication with a minor in American Sign Language, as well as Chinese.
I hope to Study Abroad to learn Business and interpreting in the Spring 2025 semester, as well as attend our faculty-led study abroad program in Taiwan in the Summer of 2025.
My interests include coding, culinary arts, dance, reading, roller-skating, sewing and textile art, and volunteering.
Why Support Me?
This will be my first year competing in pageants. My journey with the I AM Pageant Powerhouse and National American Miss began as a way for me to get more involved with my community and see exactly where I can make an impact.
Through this process, I have found pageantry to be my passion because I have a way to hone my confidence and meet other incredible likeminded women. I love to compete because it allows me to showcase my unique talents and interests while making relationships that will last me a lifetime.
Growing up, many of my 'turning points' and moments of discovery have been due to community leaders and events that allowed me to connect with them. I hope to become a leader that is representing other girls looking for themselves in a role model. Community involvement and Accessibility in all Aspects can make a big impact. I have seen this firsthand through volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club and CyberSeniors. Through this platform, I can help them discover new parts of themselves, and show them that impact starts with YOU.
I am a creative, who is an advocate for accessibility, a supporter of small businesses, who strives to make spaces diverse, equitable, and inclusive. These qualities are so important for creating a supportive and connected community.
