JOHNSONVILLE, SC, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Johnsonville native Giavanna Lyerly, the reigning US Miss Teen, has officially been crowned Miss Super Model International USA and will represent the United States at the international competition in Thailand, October 18–24, 2026.

Lyerly will compete alongside delegates from countries around the world, carrying USA onto the international stage in a competition celebrating modeling, beauty, confidence, culture and global representation.

For the 19-year-old from a small South Carolina town, the journey to representing her country is about much more than a crown.

A recent high school graduate, Lyerly completed two years of college coursework through dual enrollment before graduation. She is now beginning her first year on campus at Francis Marion University, where she is majoring in biology with aspirations of becoming a dermatologist.

Lyerly is also no stranger to the spotlight. An experienced model who began working in the industry at a young age, she has appeared on major runways from Los Angeles and New York to Florida and internationally in Paris. Her modeling and editorial work has appeared on the covers and pages of hundreds of magazines.

Beyond the runway, service has been a defining part of Lyerly’s life.

She has dedicated thousands of hours to community service and humanitarian efforts. Among the causes closest to her heart is Give Kids The World Village, for which she has helped raise approximately $50,000. She has also worked alongside her sister in support of fundraising efforts benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Her commitment to service extends far beyond fundraising. Lyerly has traveled thousands of miles participating in hands-on flood and disaster-relief efforts, helping hundreds of individuals and families during times of tremendous need.

For Lyerly, service has never been something reserved for a title or a crown. It has been part of her life long before either.

Her journey to the international stage is also a remarkable story of resilience.

Three years ago, Lyerly was involved in a devastating automobile accident that left her trapped inside the vehicle by her foot. Her injuries required multiple surgeries, more than 10 months in a medical boot and back brace, and approximately two years of physical therapy.

The road back was long.

Today, the young woman who once faced surgeries, braces and years of rehabilitation is preparing to walk onto an international stage wearing USA.

Those experiences have given Lyerly a profound appreciation for the opportunities before her and a determination not to take any of them for granted.

Her journey to Thailand brings together the many pieces of her story: a small-town South Carolina native, international model, college student, humanitarian, accident survivor and young woman preparing to represent her country on one of the biggest stages of her life.

As Miss Super Model International USA, Lyerly will travel to Thailand October 18–24, where she will compete against delegates from around the world for the international title.

Giavanna Lyerly is available for interviews, features, appearances and media opportunities as she prepares to represent the United States in Thailand.
