15 TEEN AMBASSADORS SELECTED IN THURSDAY FINALS
CORONA, CA (May 20, 2011) – A judge’s panel selected the first Teen Ambassadors for the
new program at The Shops at Dos Lagos at last night’s (Thursday, May 19) finals on the Corona
center’s amphitheater stage. The 15 Dos Lagos Teen Ambassadors include four male and 11
female students from four area high schools.
The Dos Lagos Teen Ambassadors are Paul Bautista, Majestique Bellamy, Megan Mostamand,
Emily Saunders, Jenny Shin, Steven Thorp, and Ty Tu from Centennial High School; Inez
Bailey and Kenna Vecchiarelli from Corona High School, Hannah Voros from Eleanor
Roosevelt High School, and Tiffany Elizalde, Alyssa Harshbarger, Luis Manzo, Andrea Parra,
and Eric Staten from Santiago High School.
The judges, Laura DeVore, Fidelity Investments, Bruce Sampson, WBZB Entertainment
President and Managing Director, and Sosy Wofford, Charlotte Russe store manager at The
Shops at Dos Lagos, had the difficult task of selecting just 15 Teen Ambassadors from the
outstanding high school finalists. The judges were impressed with the 40 high school students
who participated in last night’s finals. All finalists, selected by application and school
recommendation, are school leaders and positive role models for their peers.
The 40 teen finalists each received a $25 Dos Lagos gift card on Thursday to shop for items
which reflected their personality, interests and style. They then were asked to make an on-stage
presentation of these purchases to the judges and a packed Dos Lagos Amphitheater
audience.The judges reviewed each applicant’s school and community activites,
recommendations from school faculty and evaluated the on-stage presentation to add scores on
personality, poise and communication skills.
