Representing the beautiful villages of Tauna, Ottoville, Aunuu, Tau, Savaia-Lefaga, and Malaeloa, 24-year-old Salavatia Lauvao brings a deep love for her heritage and a heart full of purpose to this year's pageant stage.

With her radiant spirit and unwavering faith, Salavatia is ready to inspire others; one step, one story, and one stage at a time.
