Viviana Lin Winston’s journey began with a pair of heels too big for her small feet. At five years old, she slipped into her mother’s shoes, stepped onto a pageant stage for the first time, and felt something spark. That moment shaped the rest of her life.
Years later, at nineteen, she stood on an international stage in Cambodia, representing Malaysia at Miss Planet International 2019. Among contestants from thirty four countries, she earned the title of 2nd runner up, becoming the first Malaysian to place in the top three. It was more than a win. It was history.
Her love for beauty pageants grew into something bigger than herself. In 2018, she and her mother created Angel Impact Management, a company dedicated to training the next generation in pageantry and modelling. It is their way of guiding young talents, shaping confidence, and opening doors that once felt out of reach.
Viviana’s passions reach far beyond the stage. She loves traveling, exploring new cities, and learning from different cultures across Asia. Each trip brings new stories, new energy, and a deeper understanding of the world she hopes to inspire.
Creativity runs in her blood. Born into a family of musicians and dancers, Viviana grew up surrounded by rhythm and expression. Singing and dancing became part of her identity, shaping her confidence both on and off stage.
Today, she is pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Strategic Communication at UNIMAS under the Faculty of Language, Communication and Education. Her studies, her travels, and her work in pageantry all reflect one thing: a young woman committed to growth, purpose, and making an impact wherever she goes.
From the little girl in oversized heels to the woman guiding future queens, Viviana continues to shine with the same passion that started it all.
