Early life and education edit
Myles was born in Kentucky to a Dominican mother and an African-American father, and moved to Florida at age seven.[2] She was raised in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and graduated from high school in 2021, with a dual enrollment associate degree from Indian River State College.[3] Prior to becoming Miss Teen USA, Myles was studying computer science and musical theatre at Florida State University and aspired to become a software engineer.[3]
Pageantry edit
Myles began her pageantry career at age 12.[2] She first competed in Miss Florida Teen USA in 2020, where she placed as the third runner-up despite falling on stage.[2] Myles later returned the following year, and ultimately was crowned Miss Florida Teen USA 2021.[2] As Miss Florida Teen USA, she received the right to represent Florida at Miss Teen USA 2021.
Miss Teen USA 2021 was held on November 27, 2021, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[4][5] Myles went on to advance as a part of the top 16, and later advanced into the Top five as well, before being crowned as the winner by outgoing titleholder Kiʻilani Arruda. With her win, Myles became the first entrant from Florida to ever be crowned Miss Teen USA. Myles was also the first (and only) titleholder under the new Miss USA Organization.[6][7]
