Miss Santa Monica, Samantha Ramos was crowned Miss California USA 2024 on Sunday, June 23 at the Hyatt Regency Orange County in Garden Grove.

The Mexican-American mentor, model, and restaurant franchisee from Fullerton will now prepare to represent California at the Miss USA 2024 pageant in Hollywood, California this August.

"I am Miss California USA 2024. Grinning ear to ear, I accomplished a goal I set after almost 10 years ago. From being a non-finalist teen to 1st runner up at Miss CA Teen USA, to 2nd runner up at Miss CA to finally getting the crown," Samantha shared online.

"Pageantry has taught me that resilience and tenacity are the key to achieving extraordinary things in life. Thank you to every one of you that has been apart of this journey," she added.
