MY NAME IS JOAN YAZZE GALLEGOS AND I AM THE CURRENT 'MISS NEW MEXICO 2008' I AM VERY PROUD AND HONORED TO BE REPRESENTING SUCH A WONDERFUL STATE...IT TRULY IS THE 'LAND OF ENCHANTMENT'. I AM 20 YEARS OLD AND I CURRENTLY ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO, STUDYING POLITICAL SCIENCE AND COMMUNICATION.

I ALSO SERVED AS THE VARSITY FEMALE COLOR GUARD COMMANDER, FOR TWO YEARS. I WAS AWARDED THE NATIONAL SOJOURNERS MEDAL & RIBBON FOR AMERICANISM, THE GOLDEN ANCHOR AWARD, THE AMERICAN LEGION AWARD FOR SCHOLASTIC EXCELLENCE, AND THE CIVIC SERVICE AWARD.
