World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Please tell us about yourself.
I am 20 years old. I am a caring, friendly, trustworthy, enthusiastic young woman. I work at a daycare as a kindergarten and pre k educator and have done daycare work for the last year. I am very passionate about my work with kids and completed my schooling at Red Deer polytechnic in December 2022. I live with my boyfriend of two years with our two little cats in our cozy home. I was born and raised in sylvan lake Alberta and moved to red deer in 2021. I am an only child, sister in law, aunt in law, friend and many more. Alongside from my daycare career, I also work as a server and just at Boston pizza in Gasoline alley red deer. I thoroughly enjoy both jobs. I just recently bought my first car on my own by financing. This is my first year of pageantry and I truly loved every minute of it. I met so many awesome ladies and made so many friends and a very close sisterly bond. Although it was my first pageant, I think it will be the start of something new for me. I plan to continue with pageantry and see where it takes me. It has helped me with my self confidence issues in so many ways and I’m so thankful for it. Before pageantry, I had never publicly spoken, performed a talent in public or been confident in my self and my beliefs. It made me a stronger woman and the best version of me I can be.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Please tell us about your education.
I went to college for two years starting in 2021 at Red Deer Polytechnic (Red Deer College). I went for early learning and childcare certificate and finished with my level two. I have learned a lot and expanded my knowledge of children and their growth and it has made me the best educator for young children and their developing needs. It showed me I want to work with kids for a long time
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What does women Empowerment means to you?
To me it means everyone is beautiful in their own unique ways and woman are some of the strongest creates on the planet. We are so nurturing and supportive. I wouldn’t be where I’m at today without certain woman in my life.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Tell us about your pageant history.
I have never known much about pageants or even had an interest in them until this year. A lady I know introduced me to my pageantry career and I couldn’t be happier. At this point in my life I wouldn’t have learned to be confident in myself or met such amazing and supportive girls. Although I’m new I will forever have my title from my first ever pageant in 2023. Miss multicultural red deer ambassador.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What inspired you to do your first pageant?
I really wanted to gain more confidence in myself, gain more friends and meet new people. I also really wanted to go way out of my comfort zone and learnt to public speak and play piano in public and face all my fears. I also really wanted to try something new for myself. Lastly I wanted to learn more about my culture and be able to comfortably express it.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Why did you choose to compete for your current title?
