Ms.
International™ 2013, Stacy Smith was born in San Luis Obispo on
February 14th, 1983 to parents Janet Trimmer and Patrick Smith. Since
Stacy could walk she has always enjoyed performing in front of an
audience, beginning at home with her parents and two brothers, Ryan
and Jason. Developing from this, she soon discovered her passions in
life to be beauty, dance, and charity work through volunteering.
Stacy
has a background of more than 20 years in performing in dance
recitals throughout the world. From these experiences, she gained the
confidence and maturity to progress into modeling and acting. After
attending the University of Idaho and graduating with a major in
Journalism Mass Media and a minor in Dance Choreography, she decided
to enroll in cosmetology school. Immediately finding this the perfect
fit for her, upon graduation she began to professionally apply these
skills and founded in 2011 her own company, OC Hair and Makeup where
she manages a team of stylists working with brides and undertaking
numerous formal events. It is through this high level of artistic
ability and dedication that OC Hair and Makeup
http://www.OCHairandMakeup.com
has been voted the #1 Beauty Service of Orange County of 2013 by
theknot.com.
Throughout
her community, Stacy is known as a strong leader who enjoys giving
back to those around her. She has dedicated herself to her charity of
choice, Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. This lifelong commitment
began at an early age as her older brother Ryan was unfortunately
born with the disease, and Stacy works hard to get the community
involved to raise awareness and to find a cure.
Not
only does Stacy lead by example, but she is also a working mom with a
four-year-old son named James, and even though she has an abundance
of responsibility, she always makes time for her son to give him the
love and care that he needs to grow up to be a healthy, educated
individual and the best reflection of all that is good in her.
