She serves as a Health Care Specialist (SSG) in the Georgia Army National Guard and is a two-time recipient of the Army Achievement Medal. She is also an Honor Graduate of the Basic Leader Course and a proud member of the Alpha Chi National College Honor Society. Currently pursuing her Master of Social Work, Jaeden is committed to creating meaningful change through both education and service.
At her core, Jaeden values connection. She finds joy in spending intentional time with her family and friends. Whether it is a quiet night in or meaningful conversation, she believes those moments are what truly matter. If there’s a trip to take, Jaeden is always ready to go. She has a heart for travel and values the opportunity to experience the culture and uniqueness of every place she visits. Ever tried an escape room? Jaeden is a true escape artist, having successfully completed over 50 rooms across ten states and three different countries. She especially enjoys game nights and playing chess with her wife, Gabrielle. Together, they share their life with their goldendoodle, Dani, who holds a special place in their hearts.
Alongside her love for adventure, Jaeden is deeply committed to her fitness journey. What started as a personal goal has grown into a lifestyle rooted in discipline, consistency, and self-respect. Fitness has become more than just physical strength for her, it is a form of mental clarity and emotional release. It is a space where she continues to push her limits, build confidence, and show up for herself daily.
Jaeden is the founder of Beyond the Uniform, a mental health advocacy platform rooted in lived experience. This work is deeply personal. Her mission is to empower individuals, especially service members, to prioritize their mental health and break the stigma surrounding it.

Looking ahead, Jaeden is focused on creating change in how mental health is supported. She is especially passionate about improving systems within the judicial space and the military community. Through her voice and leadership, she works to shift perspectives and open doors for others. Her goal is to remind people that healing is possible and that growth does not have to happen alone.
Jaeden’s journey has not been perfect. There were times when she struggled to see her own worth and to feel at peace within herself. Those moments did not break her. They helped shape the woman she is today. She leads with empathy. She stands in her truth. She is committed to making sure others never feel alone in their struggles.
She uses her story to remind others that beauty is not just something you see. It is something you learn to believe within yourself.

Introducing your Grand ICONIC Miss Ava Elizabeth Willett!
Ava began her pageant journey at 15 years old as a way to discover the young woman she wanted to be after losing her mom to breast cancer at only 13 years old.

Always striving to be an inspiring role model, Ava believes that leading with her heart is one of the most important values she carries in every aspect of her life.
Ava is a first-generation Mexican-American and the first on her mom’s side to earn her bachelor’s degree. She graduated from The University of Texas, where she earned her BBA in Marketing from one of the nation’s top 5 business schools. She now works as a Senior Manager of Community Marketing at only 23 years old, attributing her success to hard work, determination, and her faith in God’s plan for her life.
If Ava isn’t on the pageant stage in heels, you can find her in tennis shoes. She loves health and fitness, finding joy in running near the bay, taking a Solidcore class, weightlifting at the gym, or spending time at the beach with her two we**ie dogs.
She also enjoys cooking and baking her favorite family recipes for others. Her family’s 100+ year old hojarasca recipe is always a fan favorite.
Ava’s platform, Run for Moore, is in honor of her mom, Sarai Moore Salinas. She combines her passion for fitness with her purpose of helping others affected by cancer. Last year, she ran the Chicago Marathon with the Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation to raise funds for those battling breast cancer. As for what’s next… you’ll have to stay tuned.
