If you told me two years ago that I would be competing in a pageant, I would not have believed you!
Samantha Scott, reigning Ms. USA Prime Division 2
A Journey of Transformation
Samantha’s journey into the world of pageantry began when her mom, Mrs. USA Prime Division 4 2022, announced her participation in a pageant. Despite her mother’s enthusiasm, Samantha was initially uninterested. However, her perspective changed dramatically after she was asked to film the 2022 Prime National Pageant.
I saw that Prime was different. The women competing were genuinely nice people who were fighting for the causes they cared most about. That is when I decided to challenge myself to do something out of my comfort zone and see how much I could grow with the Prime Pageant system.

Finding Her Path
Samantha focused on service work, self-care, growing her business, and connecting with incredible women across the United States. A pivotal moment for her was the Prime Crowning in Myrtle Beach, where she was officially crowned on stage and met fellow titleholders from around the country. “In that moment I realized, PRIME is a collaboration, not a competition,” she reflects.
Professional Pursuits
Samantha is not only a pageant queen but also an entrepreneur. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with an Entertainment Management degree in August 2021 and immediately pursued her passion for entrepreneurship and videography/photography. This past August, she celebrated the second anniversary of her business, SamScottProductions, which offers photography, videography, and podcast production services.
Community Engagement
“I certified Asher as a Therapy Dog in May 2023 and have been working with him throughout the county in schools, libraries, and hospitals,” Samantha shares. Her passion for giving back to the community is evident in her work with Asher. The therapy dogs of Hearts of Gold, the organization Samantha and Asher work with, provide stress relief for students during exams, facilitate communication with seniors, participate in reading programs, and bring smiles to those in memory care centers and hospitals. “Asher has come in contact with approximately 600 people in just three months.”
Faith and Service
Samantha’s faith is a cornerstone of her life. She actively participates in her local church, Celebration Orlando, using her talents in photo, video, social media management, and more to further the church’s mission. “My relationship with God is the most important relationship in my life, and it has brought great fruit to my life to be able to serve the church and my community.”
Self-Care and Personal Growth
Samantha prioritizes self-care through various practices, including therapy, long walks with her dog, to-do lists, staying organized with a budget organizer, and hosting girls’ nights. She starts her mornings with Bible reading, prayer, and time with the Lord. “These practices help me maintain balance and stay grounded,” she says.
Conclusion
