I was honored with title of “Mrs North Dakota Petite” and my platform called “Kiddie Cloud” targets one of the vulnerable people in this society, KIDS.

“Breaking the bitter chains of poverty through education, housing, and healthcare.”

I focus on working with children. I had the opportunity to be a FCC provider and I truly believe that a future of a country is a healthy childhood. I am a military wife with a lot of projects to volunteer in my community and my motto in life is to teach by being an example. I also have the great experience working internationally with communities economically poor so I found my purpose on service.

I describe myself as a hard worker and I don’t take anything for granted, so be sure that I am going to be seriously compromised with this and my projects!

I pledge to do my part in ending child abuse – to be someone for the children in my community by following The 5 Steps to Protecting Our Children™:

* Learn the facts

* Minimize opportunity

* Talk about it

* Know the signs

* React responsibly

Melanie Louch-Echevarria, 20, was crowned Miss Texas Petite 2020 on August 9, 2020 at the Marriott NW San Antonio. During the competition, she represented Houston and won Best Interview along with the state title. With her win, she advances to next year’s Miss #USAPetite Pageant. www.USAPetite.com

‬ 

She hails from the great state of Texas and grew up with dreams of being an English major and going on to becoming a bestselling author and storyteller. Then she discovered how much money English majors make after college, and decided it might be a better idea to go the public relations route instead. ‬ 

Melanie was a Girl Scout for eleven years as a kid, as well as a participant in the local Girls’ Empowerment Network. She credits much of her personal and professional success to skills she learned from having strong female role models as mentors in these programs. 

‬ 

Now twenty years old, Melanie is a senior at the University of Houston (go Coogs!) studying public relations, applied politics, and nonprofit leadership. She works as a freelance media manager and lives out her childhood dream of being a storyteller every day by helping brands share their story with the world. Outside of work and school, Melanie is a former United Nations delegate & national news network panelist who has spoken to millions across the country about girls' empowerment & engaging young people in their community.

After leaving Nordstrom, she worked in sales at H&M for a few months before going full-time freelancer while in college.
