Jackelyn Carbajal currently holds the title of Miss Fountain Valley 2025. She is a cum laude graduate of California State University, San Bernardino, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration Marketing. Jackelyn is a Senior Digital Fundraising Specialist at PBS SoCal and aspires to become a Digital Creative Director for children’s programming.

Her community service initiative, A Smile for a Child, is aimed at creating a turning point in a child’s life despite any obstacles they’re facing. She partners with non-profits such as Make-A-Wish, LA Works, Amuse Autism Foundation and Zuni Pueblo Organization. This year through her initiative, she has impacted over 500 families across Southern California and granted 29 wishes as a Wish Granter. Now, she will continue to create Kids for Wish Kids clubs in Orange County for upcoming Wish Makers to be apart of her philanthropy efforts. She also leads fundraising efforts for CHOC and hosts public speaking workshops for nonprofits that support 7-12 grade students.

Recently being awarded the Golden Positivity Award at Miss California, Jackelyn believes the power of storytelling will create a pathway for others to follow her initiative’s mission to grant more wishes and increase awareness in education equality. Thanks to the Miss America Opportunity and Miss Fountain Valley Scholarship Program, she earned over $6,200 in scholarships.
