Channelling the morals and values taught to her by her Guyanese parents-Debbie and Andre Khan-in the question and answer segment of the Miss Teen Florida competition back in May, 18-year-old Alyssa Khan walked away with the crown and is now set to compete on the national stage at Miss Teen USA.
She boldly drew from experiences growing up and confidently answered her questions to secure her first win in pageantry.
Alyssa, a Guyanese, by parentage, is gearing up to compete against 50 other teenage girls in Las Vegas, Nevada with the hope of being crowned the next Miss Teen USA. The pageant will be held at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino on October 1.
