For the Garlic Festival Queen and her court, the morning started with a stop at Starbucks for coffee and Nob Hill/Raley’s for supplies in their
official festival van. Once at the festival, they prepped for their day before heading over to the lighting of the torch and the opening day activities.
The 40-hour weekly commitment
made it a little “difficult” because some
of her pre-festival duties required long
commutes during rush hour traffic. But
she enjoyed them all.
In addition to her studies at
Stanford, Kyle is very active in the
arts. She is on the executive board of
Ram’s Head Theatrical Society serving
as the theatrical resources manager for
props and costumes and as an assistant
costume designer for their spring
show, “Rent.” She was also an actress
in two other productions during the
past twelve months. During her time
at Stanford, she’s sung in the choir
(although not this last year) and has
sung the national anthem at various
Stanford sporting events.
Kyle would like to take some time
off between going for her PhD or MD
program to travel and live abroad for
a year.
Queen Kyle Perez-Robinson with her court: Alrene Garnica, Brittini Bombino, Jasmine Cruz,
Julia Chizanskos, Angelique Lucero, Amber Harding, Marille Gomez with Queen Pageant
Chair Lauren Mantani and Assistant Chair, Katie Alatorre.
