Guest of the week

Michaela Abelgas

A 24-year old Filipino American who hails from Gainesville, Florida. In May 2018, I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a minor in Mass Communications. Currently, I am a doctorate student at the University of Florida Pharmacy School (a prestigious Top 5 Pharmacy School in the country) where I am pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy degree.

I have been very fortunate to be successful in the field of pageantry. I have won several state, national, and international titles from various pageant organizations. I currently hold the illustrious distinction of being the only pageant competitor to have won five national titles from some of the biggest and most prestigious pageant systems in the United States that includes National American Miss, International Junior Miss, Miss American Coed, Royal International Miss, and USA National Miss.

As a Junior Teen, I won two national titles. In 2010, I captured the Miss American Coed National Victory Junior Teen title. In 2011, I represented Florida at the Royal International Miss National Pageant and won the RIM National Junior Teen title from amongst girls across the country. 

In 2012, I proudly represented the Philippines at the International Junior Miss International Pageant. Despite being the youngest in the teen age division at 16 years old, I was blessed to have brought home the coveted 2012 IJM International Teen title as well as the International Casual Wear Model award. 

In November 2015, I competed in the largest pageant system in the country where over 15,000 girls compete every year. I represented Florida at the National American Miss National Pageant held in Anaheim, California and won the highly sought-after National American Miss title. In addition to the National title, I also broke the pageant record by capturing five other national titles in just one week of pageant competition at NAM Nationals, naming me as the most decorated pageant competitor ever in NAM history. 

I won National Most Promising Model, National Photogenic, National Top Model, National Fashion Model, and National Casual Wear Model! This culminated my National American Miss journey where I had won a total of 11 NATIONAL titles throughout my Jr. Teen, Teen, and Miss competitions.

In 2018, I captured my 5th national title as the 2018 USA National Miss. I also captured the National Casual Wear Modeling title making it as my 5th straight National Casual Wear Modeling title. I also garnered the Highest Interview award. The pageant also served as the 3rd time that my younger sister Keisha and I both won national titles in the same pageant system (NAM, RIM, and UNM).

Pageants has opened a lot of doors and opportunities for me as it enabled me to indulge in my passions. I have traveled to several different states to emcee state and national shows and events. I have also worked as a pageant judge in several state and national competitions. With my extensive pageant experience and my passion for helping young ladies achieve their dreams in the field of pageantry, I work as a pageant coach, mentoring and guiding young ladies in their journey towards the crown.
