4 Emma Chen 陳懿

Sponsor: Quon Yick Noodle Co.

My name is Emma Chen, I was born into a family deeply rooted in Chinese culture, with both parents as Mandarin teachers. My home was filled with traditions, from dumpling-making gatherings to practicing calligraphy, instilling a strong sense of heritage and the central value of family. I graduated from USC in 2023, majoring in Journalism. 

Now as a news reporter at ETTV America, I am dedicated to bridging the gap between mainstream media and the Chinese community, ensuring those whose primary language is not English stay informed and connected. I aspire to join the Miss LA Chinatown Pageant to celebrate and promote the cultural heritage that shaped me. This platform offers an opportunity to inspire young women to embrace their roots, connect with the community, and advocate for cultural preservation while honoring both tradition and modern aspirations.
