United America Pageant
About the Director
Shaune Stauffer, Ms. Texas United America and the director of the Greater Houston United America Pageant, hails from Houston originally. As a child, she was classically trained in ballet and is an accomplished gymnast. Born to an English professor and corporate CEO, Shaune developed a love of science and medicine as well as the performing arts. At the age of twelve, her theory of the New Ice Age earned her top accolades at several engineering science fairs. Even though she scored in the top one percent of her class on college entrance exams, Shaune postponed her formal education to pursue a career in modeling.
While living in Los Angeles, Shaune had parts in many television shows and movies. She played Meg on "Days of Our Lives" and was also on the Womens Entertainment Network hit series, "Single in LA". Shaune also hosted a popular radio show on Gannett owned, 93Q Country.
Shaune is very involved in the American Stroke Foundation. Losing her mother in 2008 to a stroke, Shaune focused her efforts on making rehabilitation for stroke survivors and support for family members of stroke victims accessible for low income families. She has participated in many community events to raise stroke symptom awareness including, "Strikes for Strokes", and "Stroke Walk 2010". She has also been active in raising funds for the American Heart Association and the Houston Area Women's Center.
Today Shaune is well established on television and a highly in-demand model, and she is thrilled to be taking on the Greater Houston United America Pageant directorship. Her love of people and experience in communication make her an outstanding Ms. Texas United America, a title she wears with the utmost pride!
