Hi everyone, my name is Eliana Mast and I am honored to be your Miss Dakota County’s Teen 2026. This is my first season competing and wearing this sash and crown truly is such an honor. I am a 17 year old Senior at Roseau High School, and a part-time PSEO student through the University of Northwestern - St. Paul.

My CSI, A Ripple Effect - The Impact of Kindness, is something that I hold dear to my heart. Growing up I struggled to make friends & fit in; but through this, I learned how impactful a single act of kindness can be. Through my CSI I hope to continue to visit schools, lead kindness challenges, and share my story. But most importantly I hope to have every student that I encounter feel loved, seen, and heard.

Aside from pageants, I enjoy spending time with my friends, being involved in track & field, dance, and managing our girls basketball team. Aside from athletics, I am a Sunday School teacher, member of the National Honor Society, Student Council Co-President, and member of Team Epic. I also have a passion for traveling the world and our country.

I am so grateful to represent Dakota County and be a part of the Miss America Opportunity. I cannot wait for the year ahead of memories, sisterhood, and making a lasting impact.
