BRICK – Township resident Tiziana Pierini recently represented the Garden State in Las Vegas, Nevada displaying grace on stage in numerous competition categories as a contestant of the Miss United States National Pageant.
Pierini 22, graduated from Brick High School in 2021. She told The Brick Times that competing in the Miss United States National Pageant was the culmination of a heartfelt journey built on service and purpose.
“I first started competing back in June 2024. I had only one goal in mind: I wanted to be more confident in myself and feel beautiful in my own skin. However, it allowed me to make new friends who also share the same passion for charitable work, serving their community, and bettering themselves as a whole,” she added.
The competition included on-stage questions, an evening gown category, swimsuit category, and a private interview. She was selected to represent New Jersey after winning a competition in Las Vegas back in May.
Faith Pierrecharles, who serves as Pierini’s publicist, described her saying, “our local queen is dynamite in her community. She recently returned home from competing at Miss United States 2025, where she proudly represented her great state of New Jersey on the national stage.”
“She was honored to bring her passion for service, healthcare, and literacy to the national stage and her journey reflects a strong commitment to improving lives through education, access, and compassion,” Pierrecharles added.
As Miss New Jersey United States, Pierini dedicated her reign to advancing a personal platform focused on literacy and education in healthcare, particularly for children in underserved communities. She has organized book drives, delivered care packages to local shelters, volunteered with EMS teams, and participated in hospital visits – all with the goal of improving health literacy.
After winning Pierini won the title of Miss New Jersey United States she competed for the title of Miss United States and attended events throughout the state.
“Everyone in my life has been so supportive of me in and out of my pageant journey. They’ve said, honestly, I am so proud of her, and knowing someone who does, while giving back to the community, is so amazing,” Pierini commented.
The contestant has also made visits to the Children’s Hospital of New Jersey and the Children’s Specialized Hospital. “So far, I have used my title to uplift local businesses across Brick that have supported my journey. As Miss New Jersey United States, I have been traveling throughout the state of New Jersey, from Camden to Newark, visiting children in hospitals, attending festivals, and volunteering at book drives to advocate across the entire state.”
She works with the Bridge of Books Foundation to distribute books to children across New Jersey and is actively developing new initiatives, including community reading events, health education workshops, and eventually authoring a children’s book that introduces basic health concepts in an accessible, engaging way.
Pierini is a first-generation American and college graduate, born and raised in Brick with a background in health science and EMT training. She has spent her time as Miss New Jersey advocating for health literacy and education in underserved communities.
The Stockton University graduate holds a bachelor’s degree in health science and is currently a dental assistant while attending EMT school. She said her long-term goal is to become a physician assistant.
