The Resume

    (circa 1986- )
    Born in United States
    Resided in Barstow, California
    Student at Barstow Community College in Barstow, California
    Waitress at DiNapoli's Firehouse Pizza restaurant in Barstow
    Finalist in Miss California USA pageant as Miss Barstow (November 25, 2007)
    Was declared Miss California USA by pageant officials after a vote accounting error required Christina Silva to relinquish the title (November 29, 2007)

Why she might be annoying:

    The night of the Miss California pageant finals, she sensed that something was wrong when the winner was announced and booing could be heard from some audience members.
    Four days after the finals, she was informed by Silva instead of pageant officials that she was the actual winner due to points given to competition finalists being reversed after an accounting error.
    Her Caucasian features caused suspicions of pageant discrimination, despite her one-fourth Filipino ancestry and the ethnic diversity of previous winners.
    The vote accounting error cost her the traditional Miss California crowning during the pageant.
    Her recognition as Miss California was overshadowed by Silva's situation.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Pageant judges were concerned about the voting results which resulted in an investigation and a ballot re-count.
    The accountant who incorrectly tabulated the judges' votes resigned his position, and changes were made to prevent similar errors during future pageants.
    She offered support and encouragement to Silva regarding her title relinquishment.
    She, along with pageant officials, received support from those who thought the decision to give her the Miss California title was justified.
    Compared to other pageant scandals, her situation was not caused by any behavior on her part.
