​Born and raised in North Houston, Chesney Berzins is a graduate of Union University in Jackson, Tennessee and is a IT Account Manager with TEKsystems in Fort Worth, TX.  As an avid athlete, Chesney learned the importance of strength and perseverance at a young age. These lessons propelled her into athletic success giving her opportunities to play rugby for the Texas Women’s Elite Rugby Team. Beyond that, Chesney learned first hand the struggles of living with cancer after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was a child. It was not until she, along with three of her siblings, was diagnosed with a rare stomach cancer that challenges became more personal. Two weeks after her diagnosis, she had her stomach surgically removed and began her journey of self-love and healing.
Chesney competed in and won Mrs. Texas in May, 2018 at the Palace Theater in Corsicana. Chesney went on to compete at Mrs. America in August in Las Vegas and placed in the Top 6. Chesney’s own journey of rediscovering hope and love led her to create the "We're All Mammals Project," a universal acceptance foundation that encourages people to accept and celebrate people with physical and mental differences. She is a firm advocate for children and adults with mental and physical disabilities and believes that a person, no matter their differences, shouldn't be treated any less. Chesney’s hobbies include playing with her nieces and nephews, going to the gym, and teaching children how to swim. She is a proud cat-mom, enjoys hosting dinner parties with her friends and family, and is always in the mood for tacos.
