A former Second Princess of the 2024 Miss LA Chinatown Court and First Runner-Up at Miss Asia USA, Charlotte Peng brings both pageant and professional runway experience to her role as Assistant Walking Coach.

As a signed model represented by top agencies including Wilhelmina Models, Charlotte has worked with global fashion brands such as Michael Kors, Revolve, Max Mara, and Bally. Her runway and editorial work has been featured in Vogue and on KTLA. Beyond her work in front of the camera, she also serves as a modeling instructor at IMD Models & Talent, where she leads training programs for new agency models. She coaches runway technique, casting preparation, digital self-taping, confidence building, personal branding, and how to navigate rejection in a competitive industry.

Charlotte’s own pageant experience has shaped her understanding of cultural representation, stage presence, and the value of community. She is passionate about helping others grow through the process and supporting this year’s delegates as they prepare to take the stage.

Originally from Walnut, California, Charlotte earned her master’s degree from the USC Marshall School of Business at age 21, after completing her undergraduate studies at Loyola Marymount University. When she’s not teaching or studying, you’ll find her trying new restaurants or out hiking local trails with her dog, enjoying some fresh air and adventure.
