Meet Miss Hawaii Teen USA 2013 Samantha Neyland! Neyland was born in Fort Benning, Georgia to proud parents Joanne and Alan Neyland. As a military child, she has been fortunate to travel the world and live in Alabama; Louisiana; Madrid, Spain; Tokyo, Japan; and now Honolulu, Hawaii. Samantha moved to Hawaii only 15 months before winning the crown, making her win not only a personal victory but a victory for the military community as well. While there have been previous Teen USA titleholders who were military dependents, Samantha is the only one this year and uses that to encourage other military children to get involved in their local communities. Having been immersed in different cultures, backgrounds and ethnicities gives Samantha a greater respect for all types of people and the unique ability to represent them as well.

Samantha graduated from Moanalua High School on May 17, 2013 and plans to attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa as a communications major. She is also very active as a model for Wilhelmina Hawaii and has even modeled in a fashionshow with Paris Hilton. Through the rest of her reign and years to come Samantha hopes to continue pursuing her love of modeling, community service, and public speaking.

Samantha Neyland was crowned Miss Hawaii Teen USA 2013 at the finale of the State’s pageant held on October 21, 2012 at the Ala Moana Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii. The beauty from Honolulu is 17 years old and stands 5’ 6”. She will represent Hawaii in the Miss Teen USA 2013 beauty pageant, to be held in Bahamas on August 10th, 2013.
