Tameera Angelette McQueen, 24, born and raised in Puerto
Princesa Palawan, is a third year medical student who exemplifies a driven and
service-oriented personality. Her optimism and strong sense of identity
sustained her as she enters the limelight of this year’s 71st Miss Silliman
Pageant.
Here’s how she catwalks towards the world of glamour, wit
and beauty in spite of the busy life as Medical student.
Take a risk. Step outside the line.
It takes guts to enter the realm of pageantry. “Honestly, I
feel honored and at the same time pressured to take this role because last
year’s Ms Medicine was really sensational. However, despite our differences in
personality I have learned to embrace my uniqueness as well as find strength in
it. And that makes me good in what I’m doing,” she reveals.
Each day brings unexpected surprises.
“At first, I just want to take the opportunity to represent
the Medical school but along the way, I have realized that joining Ms Silliman
becomes an avenue for me to voice my advocacy. Promoting it gives me a sense
fulfillment,” she enthuses saying that it must be a calling.
Volunteers do not necessarily have the time, they have the
heart.
At a young age Tameera has witnessed a lot of miserable
health scenarios which has ignited her interest in Public Health. “I want to inspire students to serve the
underprivileged communities and to inculcate compassion towards the delivery of
Primary Health Care in the far-flung regions of the country,” Tameera underscores. “To raise awareness to future health
professionals through ancillary workshops and various field exposures is the
goal of my advocacy,” she added. Tameera has impressed the judges as she
delivers her advocacy with conviction. She was awarded as one of the Top Three
Best speaker during the Pre-pageant night held last August 17, 2017 at Claire
Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium.
Fast forward to the pageant night held at Lamberto Macias
Sports Complex last August 26, 2017, Ms. Tameera McQueen once again aced the
competition as she received the coveted title of Miss Professionalism for her
remarkable sense of character and integrity. She was also awarded as Miss
Congeniality for her exemplary amiability towards the other contestants.
For this year’s themed-wear about embodying the epitome of a
Silliman woman, Ms Medicine flawlessly portrays the Epitome of Healing where
she looks like a heroine always ready to save lives. She also stunned the
spectators in her ostentatious and extravagant evening gown exhibiting elegance
and style.
Not only Tameera has showcased her beauty and the goodness
of her heart, she also proved that medical students are capable of doing more
than what is expected of them. Truly, she is a well-rounded beauty queen. Keep
slaying Ms. Medicine!
