Saundra Marie Combs won the
title of Miss Lake County in 2005 and competed at the Miss California
Pageant in the summer of 2006.
Miss Lake County was not
Saundra's first experience in a pageant; she has been competed in pageants
in Montana, Tennessee, and California--all states where she has lived.
But being crowned Miss Lake County was a highlight of her pageant
experiences. She enjoyed a year of representing Lake County and
competing for Miss California.
Saundra began attending the University
of San Diego in the Fall of 2006. At USD, Saundra plans to major in
biology with a pre-med emphasis. She is also pursuing a minor music
and sings in the prestigious Chorale Scholars.
Saundra's ultimate goal is to
attend medical school and become a physician specializing in sports
medicine. In this profession, Saundra will be able to help athletes
who have the same passion for sports that she does by treating their
injuries and getting them back in the game.
Saundra
has always had a lifelong passion music and singing. Her
accomplishments as a musician recently earned her the award for Lake
County's Amateur Artist of the Year at the Stars of Lake County.
Not surprisingly, Saundra
enjoys keeping busy. She has never had a lot of spare time, being
involved in volleyball, basketball, track, student government, band, and
choir in the last several years. Saundra also makes many singing
appearances across Lake County and the state.
Saundra
is also the founder and president of the "Big Champ/Little Champ
Foundation," known for its "Let's Get Physical!" slogan (www.letsgetphysical.org).
Through this organization, Saundra passionately promotes health and
fitness among today's youth by mentoring children and teens to teach them
about healthy diet and exercise choices. This issue also serves as
her platform in the Miss America Organization.
When it's time to relax,
Saundra enjoys reading, watching TV (her favorite show is Desperate
Housewives), working out, and boating on Clear Lake during the summer.
When she's not at school in San Diego, she resides in Lakeport with her
parents, William and Patricia Combs. Saundra also has three
brothers: Craig, Daryl, and Billy.
