Meet Judge Shannon Chandler! 🌟

Shannon was born and raised right here in El Dorado, AR—and she knows pageantry! She's a former Junior Miss Union County who's gone on to accomplish some incredible things.

A Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of Houston, Shannon has an amazing background in music and performance. She's a Texas Country Music Hall of Fame "Pickin' Party" winner, the inaugural winner of Sugarland Superstar, and a finalist in Houston's KPRC's "Gimme the Mic." She's even performed at Six Flags Astroworld!

With extensive dance and vocal training starting at age seven, Shannon brings real expertise and heart to our judging panel. We're so excited to have her celebrating our girls at Nationals! đź’Ş

Meet Jaye Paulman, your Mrs. Southern States! 👑✨

This incredible woman is a 3D artist who creates fan art and gaming-inspired work—and Final Fantasy VII is her absolute favorite! She's been an RPG gamer since the mid-1990s and loves the symphony gaming soundtrack music. But Jaye's real passion goes so much deeper. She's fighting for patient rights, pushing health insurance companies to cover laboratory diagnostic testing. She's deeply passionate about Hodgkin's Lymphoma awareness after losing her father to the disease. 💚

Her biggest inspiration is Dr. Patricia Tille, who once told her: "She has a way to make you understand and go after your goals, even if you never thought it was achievable." That wisdom is driving Jaye forward as she pursues her doctorate and steps back into pageantry—something she once questioned due to age and confidence, but now embraces with full heart.

Jaye's proudest achievements speak volumes: she's pursuing her doctorate, speaking at major conferences (ASCP, ASCLS, American Diabetic Association 2026, ADLM Conference 2026), and giving back to women in need through the First Light women's shelter, providing meals and hosting bingo to bring encouragement during difficult seasons. đź’ś

ASCP • ASCLS • Guest Speaker, American Diabetic Association (2026) • ADLM Conference Speaker (2026)

Jaye, we are SO ready to celebrate you on that stage in El Dorado!

Association, and Father Joe's Village food bank.
