Thank you Kitsap County for your support!
Culture & Diversity
My name is Khi Mariah Tall Bull. I am a nineteen year old student athlete attending olympic college. My favorite subject is sociology but I also look forwards to studying psychology. I am from Missoula, Montana. Representing the Northern Cheyenne, Blackfeet, and Nez Perce Tribes. My culture is most important to me because it represents who I am, what I believe in, and where I will go.
I recently participated in the Miss Kitsap Scholarship pageant and learned news skills that will help me make a differences in my community. As the new Miss Silverdale 2025, I intend on using my platform to spread awareness of personal health and well-being practices withing my community. This pageant opened up numerous opportunities for me to meet new people, move forward in my education, and engage with a diverse community.
Community Leadership
I am currently working on my associates degree at Olympic College and would like to finish my bachelors at the University of Montana. My goal is to obtain a PhD in psychology that I can use to engage community research and action.
To represent my community, I will also participate in the Miss Kyiyo 2027 pageant. This would give me the opportunity to engage directly with my community while expanding my cultural knowledge.
​
I want to be a role model striving for success and growth. Engaging in every opportunity towards success while making my education my first priority. I aim to support ongoing development for individuals who have faced challenges in life but remain resilient in a positive manner.
