Background

About Alaina Herrera

I graduated from Northwest Career and Technical Academy with advanced high honors and a workplace readiness certificate. While attending Northwest I majored in Media Communications which included learning video production, news writing and editing, and photography. I was an active member in the Filmmakers Society, National English Honor Society, and I was a board member for the Journalism Club. I also participated in Student Government in middle school and high school. I eventually got active in the State and National Student Government Organizations. While in high school I also worked with the Cinderella Scholarship Organization. I participated and competed in pageants all around the country. I got the privilege to hold the title of Nevada State Cinderella Teen. In this position I got to travel around the state and help with preliminary pageants as well as volunteer in my community in various different ways. After receiving my title I got the chance to move onto the international level. I ended up getting 3rd alternate to the overall crown and 1st runner up to best talent. Now I am attending Southern Utah University full time, with a major Media Communications and a minor in Photography and Political Science. I also hold a position as a Presidential Ambassador. I get to dedicate my time to my school work and also recruiting other students to attend SUU. I spent my sophomore year with the Presidential Ambassadors as a Financial Aid and Scholarship Education (FASE) Ambassador. At the conclusion of that yearly position I was elected to be the Vice President of Financial Aid and Scholarship Education. I continue to show my love and support at SUU by becoming involved in the athletic department by holding the position of Assistant Athletic Event Coordinator.
