Brianna, 12, is the daughter of Bill and Alisha Diaz of Smith Valley. She is a home-schooled student who enjoys gymnastics, cheerleading, acting and modeling. Brianna was a state ambassador in the National American 2005 Miss Nevada Princess Pageant.

She will present a hip-hop dance as her talent, and will participate in a photogenic competition and casual wear modeling at the pageant.
