Romeo Peach Queen Runner Up Lucero ( Lucy )

Introducing the 2026 Romeo Peach Queen Runner-Up…Lucero (Lucy) Garcia-Gaytan!

Lucy is 19 years old and is a resident of Washington. She is the daughter of Carlos Garcia-Barragan and Terestia Gaytan, and the sister to Terecita, Karla, Emily, Carlos and Jesus.

She was a 2024 graduate of Romeo High School. At RHS, she was involved in National Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society, SERVE and the Environmental Club. She was awarded the Michigan Community Impact Award (50+ service hours), the SERVE Scholarship (100+ service hours) and the Youth Spirit of Hope Award (200+ service hours)! While in school, she also worked several different jobs as a shift leader.

This fall Lucy will be returning to Oakland University where she is studying Nursing. On campus, she is involved in the Young Honors College. She has been on the President’s List for multiple semesters, which recognizes scholastic distinction, all while working two off-campus jobs. Upon graduation, Lucy’s goal is to become a nurse in a pediatric specialty such as NICU or PICU. She also plans to further her education to earn a Masters Degree and become a Nurse Practitioner with an emphasis in Dermatology.

Lucy is excited to serve as the 2026 Romeo Peach Queen Runner-Up to give back to the community that has shaped her. As a first-generation student, she has learned resilience and hard work, and wants to user her story to inspire others. She wants to use her reign to create a stronger connection between young students and the community, and to make a lasting impact as a positive role model for others!
