Austinite Ana Christina Rodriquez just finished an exciting year as the reigning Miss Texas USA. A fierce competitor, charity fundraiser and preschool teacher, she knows that style and substance are invaluable assets when balling with the big boys, and she is at the top of her game.

“Let go and let God” is one of Rodriquez’s favorite quotes that sums up her attitude about life. She says with that attitude, coupled with raw determination and perseverance, “there is nothing you can’t accomplish.”

Rodriquez loves Austin’s flair for inpiduality, something that set her apart from the competition when she won the Miss Texas USA crown. She is looking forward to new challenges ahead, where she can continue to share her amazing life experiences and talents.
