Miss California Teen USA 2010 Emma Baker is an 18 year old graduate of Poway High School who now attends Palomar College in San Diego. She works part-time at her father’s business and for two years has been dipping her feet into the world of modeling and fashion. Emma was prompted to compete in the Miss California Teen USA 2010 pageant by her desire to meet new performance challenges and to forge new paths on her journey to self-discovery.
When Emma was ten years old she discovered her love for soccer. She played competitively for seven years and experienced all manner of life lessons, including the pain and frustration of injury. She won championships, made friends and learned that her best games were always the ones that tested her own personal mettle. Emma continues to appreciate the importance of individual performance while working as a model for different manufacturers, designers, entrepreneurs and professional photographers. She loves both “sides” of the camera and the energy-based momentum of a quality photo shoot. Both modeling and soccer have proven to her the importance of conditioning and that staying fit and healthy is something she can’t live without.
