Talking about her journey she mentioned, “I was able to make myself the best person I could possibly be. This pageant pushed me to strive towards being my healthiest- mentally and physically, from 3 hour leg days to 3AM sessions reading or watching Ted Talks on self-growth. This past year has been the biggest emotional roller coaster and I am so grateful for all the support I’ve received.”
She is currently continuing her education with a full ride to the University of Southern California (USC) as a trustee scholar. Grateful for every resource and opportunity she has had throughout her journey, she said, “I am extremely grateful for my faith that gave me the strength and courage to achieve what I never believed I could.”
Adilene is extremely passionate about women’s health and empowerment. Growing up with a single mother and a family filled with girls, she found a deep rooted appreciation for how much power women possess. Being inspired by her mother who immigrated, with two children, to the United States with absolutely nothing, she takes advantage of every opportunity given, knowing that she is blessed beyond belief. She says, “In the next ten years, I see myself as a resident in training to become a certified physician and gynecologist. I believe I make a good role model because I know how to take misfortunes and transform them into blessings.”
