Hey everyone!! My name is Bri Foli and I am the 2024-2025 International Teen!!! I am beyond ecstatic for the year ahead! I currently am a student at Cameo College of Essential Beauty in Utah where I will soon be a Master Aesthetician! I love making others feel comfortable and confident in their own skin so I can’t wait to do this as my career!! 

I have been a dancer for 16 years and now I am a dance teacher! I am a vegan and have been for six years! I love to knit and do all things self-care related! I have the world’s best, or worst, shoe obsession/addiction. I buy a new pair of shoes every month! Something not many people know about me is that I’m actually terrified of butterflies, especially Monarchs. I also used to play saxophone, piano, ukulele, and recorder growing up! 

My platform is called SKINpact - Making an Impact through the Skin! My main goal is to educate others on the importance of skincare, self-care, and the detriments of skin cancer. The past few years I have dealt with my own skin concerns where it has made me want to skip school some days because I didn’t feel good enough in my skin. This has made me passionate about helping others love their skin and is why I chose my career path. Confidence starts on the inside, but the outside can also affect it sometimes too. Throughout my year, I plan to spread awareness through care and teachings on how to take action to protect our skin from damage but also give tips for different skin types and conditions. Learning how to love your imperfections can be hard, but the journey to self-love is always continuous and there is always room for growth! 

I was drawn to IUM the moment I first heard about it! This was only my first year competing and I so wish I would have started sooner! From the HEROIC acronym to the emphasis on sisterhood and mentorship everything about this system aligns with my values and what I was looking for in a pageant! I also love that there are five required areas of competition! I think Interview is the most important phase because it helps girls gain communication skills and real world experiences, Introduction teaches public speaking skills, Evening Gown shows poise and confidence on stage, High Fashion Runway is fun and shows off your personality, and last but not least the Community Involvement portion encourages these young women to get out in their communities and volunteer for organizations they care about!! This is just scratching the surface of why I chose and LOVE IUM!!! 

Everyone is welcome and belongs at IUM! This organization gives the opportunity to ALL girls of all ages to compete! Also the inclusion and diversity is one to beat! They want you to be genuine and come as you are! It is very organized and the directors and staff are top notch! The whole International pageant is SO positive and a once in a lifetime experience! You will meet some of the most incredible people through this system and they will be some of your best friends for life!! You will not regret trying International United Miss!! So what are you waiting for?! I want to see YOU at Internationals in July!!
