Biography |
Carrie Prejean is an American model and former beauty queen
from Vista, California. She held the title of Miss
California USA 2009, and placed first runner up in the Miss

answer to a question about same-sex marriage. She was

Coppola and William Prejean. She was raised in an
evangelical Christian household in Vista, California.

for more than a decade.

currently a senior at San Diego Christian College, a small,
evangelical liberal arts college located in El Cajon,
California, and attends The Rock Church, where she
volunteers with their outreach ministries. Prejean also
volunteers with Luv-em-Up Ministries in El Cajon, where she
