Aria Kristen McIntosh founded the American Coronet™ pageant in 2002 to create a pageant designed for any woman to live her dream of being a beauty queen and bettering herself through pageantry. Queens must work hard to win in many areas since American Coronet™ seeks well rounded and ambitious women as National Queens.

Aria competed in her first pageant at the 1998 Texas American Coed pageant and although she did not place, a seed was planted that inspired her to grown into a driven woman fully utilizing her creativity and intelligence to live her dreams. Since her learning experiences from that first pageant, Aria has won live and online pageants at the local, state, and national level. She has competed in the American Coed, Miss America Organization, Texas Galaxy, American Achievement, Miss Volunteer Amreica, and other pageants. Her most coveted title to date is the title she aspired to achieve since her first pageant, Miss Texas Am
erican Coed 2003.

Aria believes in self improvement through pageantry and in bettering communities through service. She uses her pageant titles to make many appearances and touch as many deserving lives as possible. She is regularly active with MDA, her own Pet Therapy organization, and the Special Olympics of Texas.

By day Aria is the Marketing Director, Office Manager, and Web Developer for Corias Homes, Inc., a custom home building company in Austin, Texas. Aria spends her spare time volunteering, competing in pageants, evenings out with her husband Parker, evenings in with her Pomeranians, restoring classic cars, and playing, compising, singing, and performing music.

Aria's commitment to serving communities and inspiring others to do the same keeps the American Coronet™ pageant running and evolving. We would love to have you as part of American Coronet™!

Aria K. McIntosh - Founder
I am the new Director for the American Coronet Pageants!  I am a pageant participant, coach and former Director of the Virginia All American Pageant.  I have over eight years of experience in the pageant industry.  I devote a great deal of time to community service and believe others should give back as well.  Below is a bit of personal information about me.  You can learn more about me at my personal website divaqueen.homestead.com.

I am a lifetime resident of Virginia, and Survivor of Domestic Violence.  As a survivor I encourage women to not only know the signs of an abusive relationship, have an emergency plan in place but also to know that they are “worth it” and to pursue their dreams no matter what the obstacles may be.

As a victim of Domestic Violence, I entered my first pageant in 1999 as a personal rebuilding exercise. To establish a higher level of self-confidence and awareness, I have been committed to pageants ever since. I continue to use each pageant as learning and growing experience for myself, striving for the next level; as well as encouraging others to pursue their dreams through pageants or other avenues.  I am a former semi-pro cheerleader and am also an avid country/line dancer. I am a beginner Ballroom dancer and enjoy any type of dancing.

I maintain a valid Real Estate License and have just completed my coursework for my Certified Property Manager's Designation. I am a devoted mother of three, Chris 22, Kalyn 20 and Jordan 10 as well as a grandmother of one grandson, Peyton.
