Guu’wadzii! My name is Mikayla Sarracino, My Acoma given name is Aaniyaitsa. I am of the Yellow Corn Clan from my Mother and Sky Clan from my Father. My Mother is Jolene Shroulote and my Father is Kevin Sarracino. I have one younger sibling named Amber Sarracino, and I have so many cousins that I am close to. My maternal Grandparents are the late John and Ruby Shroulote. My Paternal Grandparents are James and Viola Sarracino Sr.

 

I’m a Senior at Grants High School, and a dual credit student at NMSU-Grants Branch. My future ambitions include going to college and pursuing a Degree in Criminal Justice. My dream job is to become a Crime Scene Investigator or a Forensic Scientist. Learning what I know, I want to bring back my knowledge to the Acoma Community.

​

“First and foremost, I would like to thank the Miss Pueblo of Acoma Pageant Committee for granting me the opportunity to be a Teen Ambassador for the Acoma community. I would like to thank all the people that came out and supported my Sister Miss Pueblo of Acoma and I. Thank you for all your support, words of encouragement, and pieces of advice that I will carry everywhere I go. Thank you to all the Royalty that came and gave us support, including royalty advice. I would like to thank my family for supporting me in following my dreams, and for always encouraging me, and always being there for me. I would especially like to thank my parents and younger sister for shaping me into the person I am today, none of this would have been possible without you three! Finally, thank you to all the people who wished me well on this journey I am enduring, I promise to make you all proud and be the best Miss Pueblo of Acoma Teen possible”!
