Missouri Miss Amazing Jr. Teen 2026 – Claire Valvero

What is your favorite part about Miss Amazing?    

The passion presentation because you can show off your passion no matter what it is.   I realized I love to do comedy, and I didn’t know it before I got a chance to perform. I figured out I like to make people laugh. 

What are your hobbies and passions?  

Making people laugh is a new passion.  I play power wheelchair soccer, shopping, I love to watch medical shows on tv, I love to listen to audio books and having dance parties with my mom and dad 

What ways do you hope to impact the community as a Miss Amazing Queen?  

I want to let people know that despite my cp I am really smart and funny and kind. I really want to make a difference in the disability community by giving back, offering resources, support, or teaching people about those of us living with a disability. 

What are things you are hoping to achieve in your future?  

Graduate high school!  Make a difference in the world in some way, whatever it turns out to be.  And live on my own.  

What is one piece of advice that you would give a prospective Missouri Miss Amazing participant?  

Don’t put your self-worth in anyone else’s hands. Believe in yourself and that you can win if you do your best. The experience of being at Miss Amazing is worth everything whether you win or not. And the plus side of not winning is you get to come back next year and try again.
