Miss Charm USA 2021 is Alyssa Klinzing


California resident Alyssa Klinzing has been officially named Miss Charm USA 2021 and will represent the United States next October at the inaugural Miss Charm 2021 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The 23-year-old beauty who hails from Olathe, Kansas is a graduate of political science. She is an entertainer at Disneyland and a Lagree fitness trainer at Bare Fitness in Orange County.

As a lifetime Girl Scouts member, Alyssa knows "the importance of having women represented in politics and leadership roles" across her country. She also hopes as a domestic abuse survivor "to reach young children to share her story" and encourage them "to never let go of their dreams."

The first Miss Charm USA is no stranger to pageantry as she represented Kansas at Miss USA 2019 where she placed in the Top 10, and California at Miss Earth USA 2021 where she achieved a runner-up finish.

Based in Vietnam, Miss Charm is a new international pageant that aims "to search for the most exceptional female representatives" globally. The competition is striving to "become one of the most spectacular and prestigious" in the world.
