Corrin Stellakis (born 28 August 1997) is an American beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned as Miss Earth United States 2016 in Washington, D.C. and has become the United States's representative to Miss Earth 2016 in the Philippines in which she achieved a Top 8 placement.
As published in Miss Earth's official website, Corrin described her childhood days as, "I lived on a horse farm in central New York. At the age of 8, I was given my first horse. My family hosted an after-school program for young children called “A Horse of Course,” which taught the basics on how to clean the stalls, feed, water, and exercise the horses, and also gave horseback riding lessons. I helped teach this program from the age of 9 to 13. My childhood was very family oriented. My family traveled on camping trips, ate dinner together every night, and supported each other in all activities. My family fostered children for four years. We loved and cared for 17 children who came into our home. They will forever be a part of our family." She learned that, "My upbringing on the farm taught me the value of hard work, as well as how to love and care for animals. Living on Oneida Lake gave me an appreciation for our bodies of waters and showed me the importance of water conservation and keeping our water clean. I learned that family is always the most important focus in life! You only have one life, so you should spend it with the people who you love most and who support you in achieving your dreams."
Corrin's first pageant experience was when she won the Miss Jr. Oz in 2012. Corrin attended Chittenango High School where Chittenango is the home of L. Frank Baum, the author of the "Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
Stellakis continued her pageant experience as she competed in Miss Teen USA 2014 representing New York. However, she was declared unplaced and title was won by K. Lee Graham of South Carolina.
The following year, Corrin competed at Miss World America 2015 and represented Missouri. This time, she finished as one of the Top 12 finalists but lost to Victoria Mendoza of Arizona.
