I was featured on the today! Thank you so much for sharing my journey to the crown! It really means a lot!

Reposting from my account that I’ve started a few years ago! I love quotes a lot because they help me keep on going everyday. I took a hiatus for a while but ready to create more content for it. Definitely give it a follow!

As part of my “It’s Not Too Late,” platform, I will definitely be using to create inspirational quotes reminding people that it’s not too late to start or make change.

Smiling because People’s Choice is now open! Help me make it to the top 6 by voting for me for People’s Choice! The link to vote for me is in my bio!

Happy to every public servant out there!

As a public servant myself and coming from a family and community of public servants, this week means a lot to me. Public servants do important work to serve the public ranging from providing healthcare to making sure our national parks are safe. They make sure everything runs smoothly at the local, state, and federal levels.

Go thank a public servant if you haven’t already (they’ll need it I promise)! And go show your support for them, especially during this time. I also wrote a short article about this special week below.

To every public servant, know that your work is so valuable to the public. We thank you for your service!

As a part of Nationals, I’ve selected Sustainable Development Goal 16: Promoting Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions! And this is tie to my new advocacy platform: It’s Not Too Late.
This is also tie to Target 16.7 under Sustainable Development Goal 16. Swipe to read more! And I’ll provide more info in the future about how it ties to me more personally. 🙂

Did someone say International Pageant Day? Throwing back to my last pageant from 2023. Can’t wait to be on the pageant stage this summer representing the East Coast of the United States!

Forever thankful pageantry came into my life when I least expected it. And fun fact: I’ve competed in my very first pageant at the age of 24! Comes to show that it’s never too late to start something new when you’re an adult. 😊

Today for Bay to Bay service at my alma mater, I’ve volunteered with other college students to pack lunches and write notes for the Church of the Ascension Food Pantry.

I always love to volunteer whenever I’m can, whether it’s for my alma mater, any community events for committees I serve in, or for any other non-profits.

Service runs deep for me, whether I’m working at my job to support science, out in my community as a titleholder, being representative of any organization, or just volunteering as a regular person. In the end, I just want to make people smile whenever I volunteer, which makes me feel fulfilled!

Fun fact: I’ve volunteered for my alma mater’s Bay to Bay service ever since I was a college sophomore!

Hi everyone! I’ve decided to do an introduction post so everyone can get to know me better! My name is Valerie Gregorio and I’m your Miss East Coast U.S. International. I’m a 27 year old Filipina American from the East Coast (of course)!

I’ve been competing in pageants since 2022. I fell in love with pageantry because it gives people the power to utilize their voices for good and also express themselves while showcasing their own style and background!

Swipe right to check out 10 fun facts about myself so you all can get to know me better!
I’m so excited to represent the East Coast under the system and on the national stage this summer in my favorite city, Washington DC.
