Cassandra Valdez
Miss Merced County 2025

I am beyond honored to represent this amazing community that has shaped me in so many ways. With my platform, “From Soil to Society”, I aim to advocate for agricultural education, highlight the incredible farmers and producers of our region, and bring awareness to the vital role agriculture plays in our daily lives.

This journey is about more than a crown—it’s about serving others, inspiring the next generation, and building a bridge of understanding between agriculture and society. I am ready to make a difference and can’t wait to share this exciting year with all of you!

Thank you to my family, friends, and community for your unwavering support—I wouldn’t be here without you! Here’s to an incredible year full of growth, service, and representing Merced County on the Miss California stage.

Cassandra is a senior at Fresno State majoring in Agricultural Communications. Cassandra aspires to receive a Masters in Organizational Leadership with hopes of continuing to advocate for the agricultural industry.
