Juanita Maldonado

Juanita Maldonado was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley deep in the heart of South Texas. In 2019 she became a Cum Laude and first-generation graduate from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication with a concentration in Broadcast Journalism. She currently works as the Media Relations Manager for
the NBA G League Rio Grande Valley Vipers Basketball Team, the affiliate of the NBA Houston Rockets.

She is passionate about making a difference in her community which is why she launched her platform Empowering Mindsets. Her primary aim is to empower others to be the best version of themselves despite the difficulties that they have faced in life. We are all going to face difficulties in life, but it is up to us to determine whether we want it to affect us in a negative way
by allowing ourselves to be broken in spirit and give up; Or whether we allow those difficulties to impact us in a positive way and allow them to break us open so that we may transform into the best version of ourselves.

By sharing her story at empowerment seminars, school visits and her empowerment activities with young women across the Rio Grande Valley, Juanita aims to empower the lives of those around her so that they can become the best version of themselves and become unstoppable individuals that accomplish everything that they set their mind to despite the difficulties they
once faced.

In 2022 Juanita was recognized for her efforts to serve her community by receiving the Presidential Bronze Volunteer Service award for the hours of service that she contributed to making a difference in the nation. In addition, she received a Proclamation from her city for her service to the community.

Throughout the years Juanita has walked in numerous fashion shows across the United States, some of which include walking on the New York Fashion Week runway, being a signature model for Regina’s Couture and modeling for Michael Kors.

In 2014 she entered the world of pageantry. She has then judged, emceed, and competed in numerous pageants and has won numerous titles, some of which include Miss Globe South Texas, Miss Texas Belleza Latina, Miss Belleza Latina International, Miss United World Ambassador, Miss United States Regency International, Miss Grand Texas, Miss Texas United World 2024 and she obtained the first-ever back-to-back crowning in United World Pageants history as she was crowned Miss United World 2025.

Currently holding the prestigious international title of Ms. United World, Sophia embodies a blend of intelligence, creativity, and determination.

Sophia's academic background is in statistics, and she has successfully built a career in the payments industry. However, her talents go beyond the numbers —Sophia has always had a deep-rooted creative side that truly blossomed when she purchased her first home at the age of 24. Sophia dove into the world of DIY home renovations. With her own two hands, she transformed every corner of her new home, igniting a newfound sense of accomplishment and creative expression. It was this hands-on experience that sparked her love for DIY projects and set her on a path of personal growth.

In the years since, Sophia has taken on numerous creative endeavors, including launching her platform, @sophofalltrades on Instagram. Her platform has grown into a hub of inspiration for those looking to take on their own DIY projects, with tutorials, tips, and encouragement for all skill levels.

Through everything she does, Sophia’s message remains clear: empowerment comes from within.

Sophia continues to use her platform and title to spread the message that everyone has the ability to create, build, and succeed in ways they may never have thought possible. Whether it’s remodeling a home, baking a cake, or sewing a gown, Sophia is a testament to the power of hard work, creativity, and self-belief.
