Michelle Chang, contestant number one, is a first generation Chinese American and the first in her family to graduate from college. She recently obtained her bachelor’s degree at Cal Poly Pomona, studying hospitality management and marketing management. She was awarded several scholarships and has received President’s and Dean’s honors during her undergrad. She is currently continuing education at UCLA, pursuing interior design. Michelle’s ultimate goal is to blend her Chinese heritage into her career, using the art of Feng Shui. With her background in hospitality and marketing, she hopes to one day design hotels and restaurants with great balance and prosperity using Feng shui practices. Michelle is currently interning at a local cabinetry business, where she is gaining hands-on experience in design. Outside of work and school, she loves to give back to the community by volunteering at her local library, teaching teens how to knit and crochet. She also enjoys reading books, practicing yoga, and spending quality time with her family playing mahjong! She is sponsored by Cabinet King Temple City, and would like to extend a big thank you for their support. Michelle’s goal for joining the Miss LA Chinatown pageant is to be more involved in the community, make new friends, and connect with her Chinese culture.
