Regina Boyd-Wells originally hails from Pittsburgh, PA but spent most of her life in Atlanta, GA. Prior to moving to the Northern Virginia area, she lived several years overseas in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Regina has an adventurous spirit and enjoys domestic and international travel. Experiencing different cultures and meeting new people through pageantry has been one of the perks of her role as the Founder/President of the International Pageant Association. Additionally, Regina works in Arlington Public Schools and serves as a Resource Teacher for the Gifted. Working in education affords her the flexibility to live and work almost anywhere in the world. Not only is she driven to lead, but Regina also believes in serving her community. She is passionate about providing inner-city youth with opportunities to travel overseas to broaden their horizons through cultural immersion. During her leisure, Regina enjoys reading, sewing, event planning, and golfing. She was originally attracted to the sport through a special events job prior to a career in education. Regina directed charity golf tournaments for a major nonprofit organization, but her desire to learn the game sparked a new interest. Just like in the game of golf, Regina believes that it is important to “stay the course” in all of life’s endeavors and success will follow.
