Happy International Pageant Day! Hello beautiful people, for those of you who don’t know me yet, Nice To Meet You! My name is Samantha Jane Hunter also known as USOA’s Miss Temecula! In honor of my USOA sisterhood I wanted to share some photos from when I got Second Runner Up for USOA California’s Miss in November of 2025 in Whittier CA! This was an amazing opportunity to be apart of a sisterhood who focuses on uplifting, empowering, and inspiring each other at every age and every life stage. Everyone from a teen, to young women, to mothers can find a home with USOA and I certainly have. My 28th Birthday passed last week on April 1st this year 2026 and this marks my last year competing as a “Miss” so I’m giving my all to have one more chance at becoming USOA’s Miss. But in my heart I know I’ll be happy to cheer on any one of my worthy sash sisters to do the same. We each have something special and unique about us. It’s our duty to remind each other of that. Thank you to @usoacaliforniapageants @margaretmanueldirector @usoateencalifornia @iamlaurendani @usoamsgoldenstate @lanajournet @kendra_with_a_k @unitedstatesofamericasms @unitedstatesofamericapageants @sunlitpageantjourney @k.collette05 @kaedance.collette @amberkvxd @sandyraquel @usoa_miss_whittier_25 @angelina.liu618 @karsy__grace_ @saige.gonzales @yvontnguyen @ummisscalifornia_ruthpalmquist @torikmbrooks @thereselisavn @miss.victorianguyen @tonia_diimasa @vintagepinkroses @usoamscalifornia @tephani_mccleave @therealamandaspageantpage @samanthamaestro @usoateenallamericancities @d.l.e_d.family @megan.van.someren @ericglennie_inline_stripe_tie and everyone who came to support, who was supporting in spirit and those who believe in us from all over the country! taken in Whittier, California by @miss_temecula

👗Thank you to @scintillement.couture for hosting this amazing event! I was blown away by the variety of dresses and found a few favorites! Although I definitely have to come back for more! 🙏I’m so grateful to Margret, our California USOA Director @usoacaliforniapageants @margaretmanueldirector for arranging this event where we were uplifted by feeling like princesses in these unbelievable gowns, inspired by hearing each others stories and empowered to practice our different kinds of pageant walks, rehearsing for interview, and on stage questions! We’ve talked deeply about paths leading to this point and beyond, finding the courage to face our insecurities, the strength to push past life challenges, and the visceral ability to stand up again when you’re skipped across the lake like a pebble. This was an unforgettable workshop with my USOA Sister Queens! 👑 @usoamsgoldenstate @usoamscalifornia @usoamrscalifornia @usoateencalifornia @usoamisscalifornia @usoamrsgoldenstate 📸Thank you to @pyphotography_perez for the amazing photos! It is a true art to help women capture these moments where we feel truly beautiful the way we are, radiant inside our own skin, and connected with each other through these precious snapshots! 👠I can’t wait to see everyone at our Queen’s Sendoff in just three short weeks on March 14, from 12-4! Remember to RSVP by March 8th to secure your spot! 😉✨👸🏾 taken in Scintillement Couture by @miss_temecula

The National Preparedness Fair Fall 2026 Temecula Promenade Mall @promenade_temecula Flickr Photo Album @flickr Who knew it could be so much fun to prepare for an emergency? 🚨 Well, if you have positive and cheerful people around you then you’ll be knowledgeable and level headed in case of an emergency. Get Ready Get Informed Get Connected Thank you to the City of Temecula @cityoftemecula The Riverside Fire Department @battalion15rvcfire , My Safe Riverside @mysaferiverside , and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for sharing the various ways to feel prepared, fun demonstrations, and the information needed to keep our families safe and sound. Even if it’s not on a stage, there are so many ways to shine. I think some of us are able to rescue others in an emergency because they have something special inside that makes them a hero. The big question we all ask is why some rush towards danger while others run from it? Since I was able to learn a little more about CPR, fire safety, and earthquake safety I feel like I can be helpful to those heroes and potentially step in until they arrive. I thought to myself, “Well, why don’t I try it too? After all I live here and I would help if there was an emergency!” That’s the goal of days like these; to empower the community to feel strong and capable. We all have something inside of us that shines. If you feel it’s your time to shine as apart of USOA feel free to reach out to me or our California State Director Margaret @margaretmanueldirector The titles of Teen Temecula (13-19), Ms Temecula (29+) and Mrs Temecula (18+) are still available for any ladies who feel strongly connected to their community and love to make a difference. USOA’s Miss California Pageant will be held on November 22nd at the Downey theater! @usoacaliforniapageants @unitedstatesofamericapageants #usoapageants #pageant #misstemecula #usoa #temecula taken in Promenade Temecula by @miss_temecula

I can hardly believe it’s almost been a year since I was crowned with the honor of Second Runner Up for USOA’s Miss California! @unitedstatesofamericapageants @usoacaliforniapageants This year’s Miss California pageant will be on November 22nd at the Downey theater! Presale tickets are still open until September 30th! This amazing swimsuit and accessory comes from a really stunning designer Guviva @guviva.us thank you so much for proving this vital piece for my wardrobe! I always feel so confident in your designs! This year I’ve watched myself grow in so many ways; becoming Miss Temecula has changed my life from the inside out. Starting with how I feel about myself alone. Far before I step out into those lights, I accept myself despite the urge to pick apart every mistake. I’m able to tell myself that I am good enough for trying and showing you the best I can be. But these moments on stage are merely a glimmer of light at the sunset of this whole year filled with brilliant rays of light. From my community inside the city of Temecula, my home the State of California, and my United Sister Queens across the States I feel the warm glow of love and support. The uplift me, they empower and inspire me to become better than I imagined! If you’ve ever been interested in pageants but didn’t know where to start, don’t hesitaste to reach out. It makes me so happy to be that inspiration for others to live their fullest potential! If you’ve ever wanted to connect with the community, find a way to grow confidence, and make a positive difference in what matters to you, then pageantry is a great place to be. I’m still on the search for my Teen Temecula, Ms Temecula, and Mrs Temecula to complete my team! That could be you! (Yes, you!) Thank you to our state director Margret @margaretmanueldirector for all her hard work leading up to the pageant! #usoapageants #pageant #usoa #misstemecula #temecula taken in Whittier Community Theatre by @miss_temecula

Lisa G Artistry Photoshoot! Part One: Makeup! I want to say a huge thank you to one of our USOA Sponsors, Lisa, for having me over for a photoshoot! I’m super excited to see the results! This was my first time meeting Lisa and I have to say how impressed I am! She does the work of 3 people at once and balances them all wonderfully. She’s a makeup artist, a hair stylist and a photographer all in one! Being able to have skill and talent in one of these areas is already impressive but combining all three in one is truly remarkable and rare. I’m so happy to have my photo session with her! We all have something inside of us that shines. If you feel it’s your time to shine as apart of USOA feel free to reach out to me or our California State Director Margaret @margaretmanueldirector The titles of Teen Temecula (13-19), Ms Temecula (29+) and Mrs Temecula (18+) are still available for any ladies who feel strongly connected to their community and love to make a difference.

The National Preparedness Fair Temecula Promenade ‘26 Get Ready. Get Informed. Get Connected! I had such a fun time joining our local emergency personnel in their goal to help prepare each home for an emergency! I was happy to bring a little USOA magic to the Fair! @usoacaliforniapageants @unitedstatesofamericapageants Through USOA I found that there are many ways to save a life; a firefighter and an EMT save lives every day so we each have to decide what we’ll do with our lives once’s they’ve been saved. These same firefighters and EMTS came to own rescue two years ago when I got hit by a car and fractured my spine. They came to my side long before I was ever Miss Temecula, so I could live up to that potential, as they do for each of us. So we can live on to be our best selves. So I do it for them, to show how much I appreciate the life I have to live. I had to decide how I would save lives, what could be my way? To be the kind stranger whose words mean more than they know, to uplift, inspire, and empower. Because once our lives are saved that’s only the beginning. You write your own story after that, and I owe it to them to make my story a good one. And to help others write theirs one page at a time. #temecula #nationalpreparednessmonth #usoapageants #misstemecula #promenademall taken in Promenade Mall Temecula by @miss_temecula
