Destiny Tran, a 23-year-old from Kent, has been crowned International United Miss 2025–2026, earning international recognition for her leadership, advocacy, and commitment to empowering young women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
Tran, a first-generation Vietnamese American and Arizona State University graduate, was chosen to represent the state of Washington on the international stage.
In addition to her new title, she works full-time as a Business Intelligence Analyst at a global intercom and access control company, where she became both the youngest and first woman to hold her position.
“With intelligence and grace, Destiny Tran is not only representing the International United Miss Organization, she’s redefining what it means to wear a crown,” organizers said in a statement.
Through her personal platform, Beyond The C.L.O.U.D. — which stands for Confidence, Leadership, Opportunity, Uplift, and Drive — Tran promotes mentorship, leadership development, and educational resources for young women pursuing careers in STEM and business. She recently awarded the platform’s first scholarship to Meetika Kanumukula, a first-generation college student studying data science.
Tran’s community work also includes volunteering with her local library’s Reading Buddy and Math Club programs and creating digital educational content. She plans to expand her outreach by launching a podcast focused on navigating male-dominated careers, public speaking, and supporting girls in STEM.
The International United Miss Organization highlights leadership, service, and personal growth, providing a global platform for young women to make a positive impact.
