Within a year, 21-year-old Jianna Garcia helped her mom through cancer treatment, relearned to walk after having surgery twice and earned the title of International United Miss Texas.

Jianna will represent Texas at the IUM International Pageant in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday.

“I am incredibly honored to represent Texas and carry these values with me to Internationals,” Jianna said. “I've competed in Princess all the way up to Miss, so it's a full circle moment.”
