Miss California International

Jolin Chu, born in Taiwan and now based in California, represents a harmonious blend of intellect, compassion, and creativity. A graduate of UC Berkeley with both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in Counseling Psychology, she is pursuing dual careers as a Drama Therapist and Marriage and Family Therapist, helping people find inner balance, confidence, and the strength to be themselves.

Beyond her therapeutic work, Jolin is also an actress and model, finding joy in the arts as a way to empower and express the human spirit. Her performances reflect her belief that creativity can serve as a bridge between emotion and understanding — between healing and hope.

Outside of her career, Jolin enjoys cooking, fitness, and spending time outdoors with her dogs — passions that embody her love for balance, wellness, and mindful living. She views every day as an opportunity to grow with gratitude and grace.

Participating in Miss California International 2026 allows Jolin to extend her voice and platform — inspiring others, especially young women, to lead with kindness, courage, and authenticity. She believes that true beauty is revealed through compassion and service to others.

“When you live with purpose and love, your presence becomes your message.”
