Bio

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn Pamplona and I am a 19 year-old studying Biological Sciences at Florida State University. I strive to work in the medical field in the future. Ever since I learned as a kid that my parents were nurses, I have dreamed of working in the medical field. As I grew up, watching my parents work as nurses in private assisted living homes inspired me to live a life as someone who gives care to others. Last year I pursued another passion, pageantry. I mainly joined this pageant for philanthropy as the non-profit organization gave relief to poverty-stricken areas in the Philippines. In August 2022 I was gratefully given the title of Miss Fil-Am Florida of 2022 and as a result, I will be traveling with two non-profit organizations to the Philippines in the Summer of 2023 on a mission to build homes and provide medical assistance to impoverished Filipino communities. Starting pageantry has given me the chance to give back to my Filipino community locally and internationally, and also further my dream of professionally working in the medical field. I have always been open to new opportunities and putting all my effort into achieving as much as I can. I practiced traditional karate from 2011 until 2022. I have competed in multiple national and international competitions, in which the journeys were demanding. As an athlete, I have grown to be diligent and disciplined. Attending Florida State University has shown me to take part in several student organizations. They are filled with intelligent students that inspire me to be the best I can be.
