Miss Fiesta San Antonio 2018
2018
Miss Fiesta San Antonio 2018: Carla Juarez struggled to learn in elementary school due to a language barrier. Despite this, she worked hard to excel in the classroom and achieved the distinction of Salutatorian upon graduating high school. Carla was an Honors College student while she studied Accounting at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Carla spent her years at UTSA working with student leaders and administrators to improve the university and increase student involvement. Influenced by a lack of books growing up in her home, her community service project generated donations of thousands of storybooks for underprivileged second graders in Bexar County and raised $10,000 for SA Reads with the support of Valero and PWC.
