TEEN | MISS | MS. | MRS.

Amanda Stone was born and raised in Orange County, California, but is a traveler who could also say LAX is home. Growing up as a competitive figure skater, hard work and determination are no strangers to her. These are characteristics she takes with her today as a business owner, professional model, and thyroid awareness advocate. 

 

    Starting figure skating at 3, she fell in love with the sport and the artistry. Because of this, she grew up very active, whether it was figure skating, dance, tennis, horseback riding, or P.E. at school. Regardless of her active lifestyle, she became obese almost overnight, which was the first sign of hypothyroidism, which led to a journey of medical mysteries and advocacy. Regardless of weight gain, sensitive hearing, and touch from her hypothyroidism, she persevered as a competitive figure skater, which later led her to become the 2013 ISI World Champion.

 

    Starting pageantry at 17, she had yet to learn where pageants would take her. She used this to advocate for people with thyroid disorders like herself, donate thyroid support supplies nationwide, and show women of all sizes that pageants are not one size fits all. Through pageantry, she has been a mentor for all ages. Because of these experiences and after seeing all the opportunities pageantry offers, she knew she wanted to help more girls experience pageants to the fullest, helping her start her own business, “Fit for a Queen Pageant Coaching, Hair and Makeup.” 

 

    Now, in 2024, Amanda has broken barriers, whether it’s by being the first plus-size model to walk in Los Angeles Fashion Week, ISI Freestyle 4 World Champion Figure skater, raising close to $1,000 for thyroid research, or being a fit model for high profile companies that she can’t share due to NDA’s, but soon you will see her on the Terani Couture website. She continues to break barriers by studying film and American Sign Language in college, with the goal of using her experience as a Miss Amazing volunteer to create Disney Princesses for all to relate to.

 

    Using her education in film and experiences, she shares her life on social media through YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, hoping to inspire and educate others on different topics, which can be found under @TheRealAmandaStone on all platforms. With over 20,000 views on YouTube, she is sure she can empower, inspire, and uplift others as the 2025 USOA Ms. California.
