Outside of competing in pageants, what do you like to do for fun?
Outside of competing in pageants I enjoy dancing, modeling and being surrounded by the ones who love me. I have danced my entire life and have been honored to represent the United States at many international Ballet competitions. I also had the opportunity of dancing on the University of New Mexico’s Dance Team for four years, where I was the president for two of those years. Dancing at each UNM Lobo basketball and football game was beyond thrilling and I enjoyed constantly supporting my Lobo’s. Modeling is something I am very passionate about because it makes me step out of my box and try different and new looks. It will definitely take someone out of their comfort zone and can be quite challenging, which is something I appreciate since pushing myself makes me stronger and the best form of myself. Overall, spending time with my friends and family is the number 1 hobby I enjoy most. I have always cherished the ones in my life who love me for who I am and no matter how busy my schedule gets I never allow the ones I love slip away. Memories with my friends and family are ones I will cherish and keep with me forever.
Give a brief bio about yourself. Include where you are attending school(include year and major if applicable), your future goals, etc. (Feel free to include however much or little as you like in this section)
My name is Alexa Castle and I am twenty three years old. I am currently a senior in the Division of Dental Hygiene at the University of New Mexico, where only twenty four students are selected a year. After graduation, I plan on becoming a Registered Dental Hygienist and working full time at a private dental office. I would also love to be a hygienist for an organization called Dental Care in Your Home. I am currently working for this organization in Albuquerque, New Mexico as a dental assistant where I give superior dental care to homebound individuals of all ages in their own home or care facility. This type of care is something I am extremely passionate about and I would love to continue with this organization as a registered dental hygienist. On top of working full time I am planning on trying out for a NBA or NFL professional dance team. Dance has been a huge part of my life for so long and I am not ready to give this sport up for good. In the far future, I plan on traveling, getting married and starting a family. Family is beyond important to me so to have a strong family of my own would be ideal.
If you win your state title, what do you hope to accomplish throughout your reign?
If I were to win Miss New Mexico USA 2016 I plan to be a role model to the youth, serve the ones that are in true need, and give back to the community, especially in organizations like my own, Dental Care in Your Home. Dental Care in Your Home is my platform and an organization I would be determined to expand throughout the state of New Mexico. Being Miss New Mexico USA would open many doors for me to be a role model and expand organizations that I am truly passionate about.
I would be absolutely honored and blessed to represent the state of New Mexico on the amazing Miss USA stage, make memories that would never be forgotten, and bring back the Miss USA crown to my state. This would be an absolute dream come true and something I have been striving to achieve for many years. As Miss New Mexico USA I would plan on being the best titleholder that I could possibility be and not only represent my state at Miss USA, but each day I would make my state proud. Winning Miss New Mexico USA would be the greatest accomplishment and I hope someday to achieve this lifelong goal.
What is your dream job(besides being Miss USA, of course!)
Besides being Miss USA my other ideal dream job is to become a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. As I have said before dancing is such a huge part of my life and a sport that I believe I can go further with. Dancing on the University of New Mexico’s Dance Team for four years where some of the best years of my life because of the friendships I made with my teammates, the memories that I will never forget, and the challenges I had to overcome, such as my two knee surgeries. In the long run, the challenges I had to face completely forced me to grow into the woman I am today and made me a stronger and better version of myself. Dancing on a professional dance team and especially for the best team, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, would be a dream come true.
