Woods first came to prominence as a beauty queen, winning the titles ofMiss Texas Teen USA andMiss Teen USA 1996. She later appeared as an actress and as a participant onreality television show,The Amazing Race.

Woods won the Miss Houston Teen USA title in 1995,^[1] then competed inMiss Texas Teen USA 1996, winning the title. She represented Texas in the 1996Miss Teen USA pageant broadcast live fromLas Cruces, New Mexico, in August 1996, and became the first woman from her state to win theMiss Teen USA title.

As Miss Teen USA, her sister titleholders were,Alicia Machado,Miss Universe 1996, ofVenezuela, andAli Landry,Miss USA 1996, ofLouisiana.

She also reigned alongsideBrook Lee, who briefly held the title ofMiss USA 1997 before winning the 1997Miss Universe pageant; andMiss Teen USA 1989 and 1st runner-up to Miss USA 1997,Brandi Sherwood, who succeeded Lee as Miss USA.

During her reign, Woods traveled extensively throughout the United States and made appearances for charity, giving up her title in August 1997, when she crownedShelly Moore ofTennessee asMiss Teen USA 1997 in her home state,Texas.

In 2001, Woods returned to pageantry and competed in the Miss Texas USA 2002 pageant as Miss Central Texas. She was one of six former Miss Texas Teen USA titleholders to participate in the event. Woods won the swimsuit, interview, and Miss Photogenic awards, but only placed third runner-up. This was the first time that a formerMiss Teen USA titleholder did not win aMiss USA state pageant on their first try. Woods' successor to the Miss Texas Teen USA title,Andria Mullins, also lost and placed second runner-up to eventual winner,Miss Dallas Fort Worth, Kasi Kelly, who was not even a formerMiss Texas Teen USA.

The following year, Woods competed for and won the Miss Houston USA title, gaining the right to compete at Miss Texas USA 2003 and once again failed to win the crown, only placing as one of the semifinalists alongside Mullins, who also competed, but was not crowned either. This time Woods' predecessor to the Miss Texas Teen USA crown, Mandy Jeffreys, matched Woods' 2002 placement as third runner-up, only to lose to Nicole O'Brian,Miss Texas Teen USA 2000, who could not capture theMiss Teen USA 2000 orMiss USA 2003 crowns.

Woods competed for the third time for Miss Texas USA for 2004, and again only placed in the semifinals. This was her last attempt at the title, because of age restrictions imposed on contestants.
