Kaitlyn Deguire Sun Queen

Kaitlyn Deguire, daughter of Henry Deguire and Emma Saucedo-Cordova, is an Eastwood High School graduate, majoring in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso.

Aside from being on the Dean’s list and receiving the UTEP Emerging Leader Award, Kaitlyn is also involved in UTEP Edge, Alpha Xi Delta, and is a Miner Ambassador. As a research assistant at the W. M. Keck Center, Kaitlyn focuses on training Department of Defense personnel in additive
manufacturing and the qualities of various 3-D printed plastics.

Being a 2022-2023 Sun Princess gave Kaitlyn the opportunity to be a role model for girls as both an ambassador for El Paso and as a woman in STEM. One of Kaitlyn’s favorite events as a Sun Princess was the 89th Annual Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl which filled El Paso with an unimaginable energy she will never forget.

As the 2023-2024 Sun Queen, Kaitlyn is looking forward to representing the Sun Bowl Association and the El Paso community in the best way possible. Kaitlyn’s goal as Sun Queen is to embody the spirit of El Paso, showcasing its warmth, generosity, and inclusivity every chance she gets.
