About Michelle
I'm Michelle Yin, a performer, model, and youth advocate who believes in the power of creativity and purpose.
I was crowned the 36th Miss Asia International Champion, named Glamour Magazine’s Woman of the Year, and featured on the covers of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam and Glamour Bulgaria.
But beyond titles and spotlight moments, I’m most proud of using my voice to lead and inspire—from the runway to the robotics lab, and from public service to performance. I’m currently a high school senior with a 4.5 GPA, passionate about learning, creating, and leading with intention.
Social Impact & Leadership
Empowering Youth Voices
in Local Government
Youth-Led Wildfire Relief Initiative
As President of SoCal YPSI, I led civic engagement initiatives, collaborating with Orange County Mayor Donald P. Wagner to encourage youth political participation through interviews, events, and grassroots outreach.
In response to the California wildfires, I organized a student-led relief campaign, collecting and delivering essential supplies to affected communities, demonstrating the power of youth mobilization in times of crisis.
Giving Back Through Action: ACA Gala
At the ACA Annual Gala, I donated $2,000 raised through community outreach to support first responders—turning service into impact and fundraising into empowerment.
Fashion & Media Presence
Fashion as Voice: Miss Asia International
As the 36th Miss Asia International Champion, I’ve used the pageant stage not just to compete—but to speak, perform, and lead with confidence. This title opened doors to advocacy and global representation through fashion.
Fashion with Purpose: Brand Collaborations
As the youth face of Christina Fulton Beauty and BRUÇAJ Eyewear, I’ve combined creativity with intention—donating modeling earnings and using platform visibility to inspire social impact.

Guiding Young Artists
Guest Dance Judge
Invited as a guest judge for dance academy placement auditions, I evaluated young dancers not only on skill, but on passion and growth potential—an experience that strengthened my leadership from the other side of the stage.
