Maia Diaz is a Queensland-based titleholder who made her pageant debut as The Miss Globe Australia 2026 with Prestige Pageants Australia. Entering her very first pageant with no prior experience, Maia took a chance on herself and earned her dream title.
She is the founder of Her Glow Within, a platform dedicated to supporting women facing health challenges and creating greater awareness around issues too often suffered in silence. Through her reign, Maia hopes to encourage open conversation, advocacy, and a stronger sense of support for women.
Beyond pageantry, Maia is passionate about musical theatre, acting, and modelling, while her first-degree black belt reflects the discipline and determination she brings to everything she pursues.
For Maia, the crown represents more than a title. It is an opportunity to inspire others to trust themselves, pursue their passions, and step beyond fear. As she represents Australia, Maia is focused on creating meaningful impact and leaving a lasting legacy for the next generation of queens.

Meet Simone Smith - Ms. American Prime Ambassador 2025
Originally from New Orleans and now calling Seattle, Washington home, Simone Smith is a wife, new mother, human resources professional, community leader, and passionate advocate who believes that some of life’s most difficult experiences can become catalysts for meaningful change.
Simone holds a Masters of Business Administration and works as a Senior Human Resources Consultant, specializing in complex employee relations and workplace matters. Outside of her professional career, she is deeply committed to community service and leadership.
She previously served on the Board of Directors for the Junior League of Tacoma, and is an active member that is committed to volunteering in the community. Advocacy holds an especially meaningful place in Simone’s life. After experiencing the devastating loss of her father to caregiver abuse, she became passionate about raising awareness of elder abuse, caregiver accountability, and issues surrounding end-of-life care and legal support. She has used her voice and platform to help bring attention to these often-overlooked issues and to encourage others to advocate for vulnerable adults and their families through a podcast that shares her family story and resources available. Simone is also proud of her journey in pageantry.
She was crowned Ms. Washington Prime in July 2024. She was crowned Ms. American Prime in November 2024 and went on to hold the title of Ms. Prime Luminary 2025, experiences that strengthened her commitment to service, leadership, and using pageantry as a platform for purpose.
Her newest role, however, is being a wife (Simone married her husband May 2025) and mother to her son, Sebastian, born in April 2026. Becoming a mother has given Simone an entirely new perspective, the kind of legacy she hopes to leave behind.

Meet Katina Schroeder - Mrs. North Continent Classique Globe 2026
Representing Minnesota on the national stage, Schroeder was crowned Mrs. North Continent Classique Globe 2026 through the internationally recognized Mrs. Globe Organization this past June. Throughout her reign, she is serving as an ambassador for the WIN Foundation International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women heal from abuse through education, recovery programs, empowerment, and community support. Schroeder's personal platform, "A Queen's Health Is Her Wealth," was inspired by her own remarkable transformation after losing 145 pounds. Once weighing nearly 300 pounds, she understands firsthand what it means to overcome adversity, reclaim confidence, and begin again.
