As Miss Fil-Am Nevada USA and Ms Universe Petite 2024, Sarah uses her platform Eternal Reyna ("reyna" meaning "queen" in Filipino) to champion mental health, holistic wellness, and authentic transformation. With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Master of Science degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, she’s passionate about trauma-informed practices, cultural awareness, and brain health—knowledge she weaves into everything from pageant coaching, business, and organizational development.
When she’s not training aspiring queens in pasarela or leading Bible studies, you’ll find Sarah acting in indie films, creating content that challenges performative culture, modeling with purpose, or advocating for the AAPI community through nonprofit work. Her debut book, A Crystal Heart: An Esther Story, traces her journey from crystal tears to diamond faith, inviting readers to discover that true beauty radiates from a heart aligned with divine purpose.
