National American royal

Valentina Rodriguez 

Bio coming Soon


Hometown: Homestead, FL 
Age: 26
Height 4’10.5”

What do you want to accomplish this year as the National American Royal? 
The journey to be here with you has been quite liberating for me. I would like to be an inspiration for young women who are struggling with low self-esteem or poor body image issues. As National American Royal I can reach a larger audience and share my journey to achieving self-love. Once we can see ourselves in a positive light, we are able to move forward in gaining self-confidence.

If you could use one word to describe yourself, what would it be? 
Tenacious
What are your plans and goals for the future? 
As a graduate of Parsons, the New School of Design majoring in Fashion and minoring in Theater, size inclusivity and costuming were my bread and butter. With time working with my families Hospitality Company, experiences and couture have become one. I hope to bring an elevated experience merging both worlds together making dining and couture harmonize. 
What is your favorite thing to do? 
Family Is everything, after moving back to Florida after living in New York City for 7 years, seeing my younger siblings, cousins and godson grow in front of me and creating memories is an absolute treasure and passion. You can always find me rhinestoning anything really, knitting some shorts up, painting or reading, and indulging in my not-so-secret obsession of Disney World Weekends and random weekends to wherever the wind takes me. I am currently applying for graduate school as I am pursuing my MBA to hopefully capitalize on my craft in the near future. And when I remember when not at work, running a title, making sure Abuela’s are pleased and everything I own is covered in Swarovski and shorts are knitted, I will always let myself catch up on much needed sleep!
