ABOUT Dinnia
University of Nevada- Las Vegas, Sophomore; Miss COED 2016 Semifinalist
MY COLLEGE KICKS ASS BECAUSE…
I love my college because I was born and raised in Las Vegas. It’s the perfect campus for me. Every time I walk to my classes, I can see the beautiful city that I grew up in right next to me. It puts a smile on my face to be able to have the opportunity to pursue higher education in the city I love.
I MAJOR IN…
I am currently a communication major. I’m going to specialize in argumentation and rhetoric, then hopefully go on to law school! I am also trying to major in a foreign language.
OH YEAH, AND YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KNOW THAT…
When I’m not at school or with my sorority, I am at the barn with my three horses. I am a competitive equestrian. I have been riding and competing since I was nine-years-old. I have won at international shows, and I am also top ranked on the West Coast and in the nation. I spend anywhere from 3 to 7 hours at the barn 5 days a week. My goal is to be in a Grand Prix within the next two years.
AT SCHOOL, I’M INVOLVED IN…
I am a part of the Iota Phi chapter of the Delta Zeta sorority at UNLV. I am also in the process of joining the equestrian club. I am also looking forward to joining a few communication organizations. Off-campus, I am a competitive show jumper. I am nationally ranked, and two years ago, I was number one on the West Coast for my division!
IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
If I could travel anywhere in the world I would travel to Fiji. My mom always wanted to go to Fiji. Sadly she never made it because she passed away when I was eight-years-old. I have always wanted to go to Fiji for her to complete her dream.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE MISS COED 2016?
I would love to be Miss COED 2016 because I am just the right amount of fun mixed with the right about of determination! I would be a great representitive of COED while spreading campus unity! I think it would be a great honor as well!
IF YOU COULD GIVE OUR READERS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Don’t let the negativity and opinions of other people change what makes you happy. Stay true to what you believe is right. If you stay true to your beliefs, you stay true to yourself.
