The Paige Cleek Story - Faith, Drive, Beauty Pageants & Genetics - Building a Mormon Working Mom

Paige Cleek is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She is also a mother of 2 small children, a certified prenatal genetic counselor and a former multiple time beauty pageant winner.

Paige grew up in the Citrus Heights area with her single mother. Luckily she also had a large extended family unit consisting of grandparents, aunts and uncles who also assisted in her development. While young, childhood trauma resulted in her having to work through selective mutism. She was incredibly shy, until one day, she discovered the beauty pageant circuit.

Her work in pageants helped her build confidence through her teenage years.

Paige attended BYU Hawaii and found an interest in genetics. However, her time in college was not without difficulty. She struggled at times due to difficulties with others, including a bishop that she did not see eye to eye with. Regardless, she maintained her faith and was able to finish school.

Upon her return, she met her husband, a Sheriff's deputy. They hit is off and we're married. He recently left law enforcement due to the stresses and difficulties his job placed on their young family. He now works and sales while Paige works as a prenatal genetic counselor for UC Davis.

Paige comes on the podcast to share her story, her work in beauty pageants, her faith, challenges and how she overcame them, marriage to a law enforcement officer and being a Mormon working mother.
