I am Jillian Roels, as well as your current reigning Miss Washington International 2013!
I was crowned Miss Washington International in November 2012, but have just now decided to document my experiences as a titleholder and my journey to Miss International in Chicago this July!
To give a little bit of background on who I am, I am currently a Freshman at Seattle Pacific University studying Sociology with thoughts of double majoring/minoring in Special Education and possibly Communications.
I have a strong passion for working with children and have experience as a teacher, coach, and mentor through programs such as Girl Talk and Urban Involvement/Neighborhood House, and with my current jobs as an assistant teacher at The Goddard School and as a gymnastics coach with Falcon Gymnastics.
I have a strong background in community outreach, as I am the Executive Director of Spark Your Heart; my nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and performing random acts of kindness. Additionally, I am the Executive Director of Spark Your Little Heart Guild at the Seattle Children's Hospital, which raises funds for uncompensated care for families. You can read more about Spark Your Heart and Spark Your Little Heart Guild's outreach projects, as well as information on how to get involved at www.sparkyourheart.org.
In addition to my community outreach and involvement, I love competitive cheerleading and have been a cheerleader on Varsity, All-Star, and a Collegiate team for four years. I also enjoy gymnastics/tumbling, of which I have been in and out of since the age of three, as well as dance, as I was a dancer for three years.
As your Miss Washington International, I am dedicated to making a difference throughout Washington and on a national/international level. I look forward to updating you all on my journey as a representative for Washington State and throughout my adventures leading up to and during the Miss International pageant competition this summer!

XOX,
Jillian Roels, Miss Washington International 2013
