What is the craziest thing you have ever done?

While spending time in Vancouver, British Columbia, friends and I took to some sight seeing and made our way to the Capilano Bridge. We crossed the beautiful canyon and found ourselves eventually off course. Lost and weary, we climbed cliffs and slipped down mud slides searching for our course but wound up even further into deep woods. We waited until sun fall and decided the best idea would be to stay put. Eventually, cold and hungry, we were rescued by park rangers carrying out routine nightly searches.

Please list any schools and universities (public/private/graduate/trade or technical) you have or are attending, as well as the area of study, graduation date and any degree or certification you received.

The most recent private trade diploma I earned was in 2003 through, Industriel Alliance Pacific, Finance and Insurance Institution. Aiding me in pursuing the field of work I presently follow.

What charity/charities have you supported with your time and/or resources over past two years?

Over the past two years I have participated in such volunteer work, to name a few; follow-up from my 2002 active participation through a Montreal child and education care centre by the name of Tyndale St. George's. I participated in the 2003 Becel ride for Heart and Stroke foundation where I took part in a 10km cycle-athon and raised six hundred dollars towards the foundation.

I was elected chairwoman for the corporate sponsorship of the greater Montreal region for the October 2004 Breast Cancer Awareness funds. I am an on-call volunteer at the Montreal Children's Hospital aiding when there are shortages of permanent staff for such events as, holiday interaction, seasonal event planner and general occasion emergencies. My outlook on volunteer work is, “Do onto others as you'd have them do unto you.” If you are capable to assist where other can't manage, than it's your duty to comply and support hold heartedly.

What would be your "dream job" in life?

My dream job has been to host the Canadian television show, Travel Travel. I have a fascination for ways of life, a flare for culture and a taste for new ideas. If we could share our ideas with one another we could learn so much in such a brief period of time. World education, learning from the past and bringing forward into the future, is what I would cherish given the opportunity to experience.

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a Miss Universe Canada contestant) that makes you especially proud.

That I was able to instruct my group of ten, four year old ballerina's, to carry out their very first Christmas recital. Between the stage fright, bathroom breaks, and general sense of co-ordination, we managed to carry out a tear bearing, memorable, accident free performance with memories that will last a life time.

6. What is the most important thing you want people to know about you?

I believe that I am an authentic person, I bring forward into my daily life my honesty and graceful charm mixed with my dedication and hard working attitude. I believe that the sky is only a target. I lead by example, promoting professionalism and determination in everything I do.

What is your favourite movie, song, sport, and food?

-My favourite movie has forever been, The Sound of Music. Upon my first viewing at the age of three, the captivation of family living through the best of times and worst of times has grown strongest with positive thinking, group motivation and loving acceptance.

-My favourite song is by the artist Jewel, song titled, Hands. I quote a powerful paraphrase, “I will gather myself around my faith for light the darkness most fear…Poverty stole your golden shoes but it didn't steal your laughter...We will fight, not out of spite for someone must stand up for what's right cause where there's a man who has no voice there ours shall go singing…In the end only kindness matters.” To me this song stands for freedom, that through the battles of life we will prevail and emerge victoriously.

-My favourite sport is figure skating, nearly angelic, the art and skill of figure skating is that of graceful ballerina movements combined with gymnastic acrobatic abilities equates to a theatrical performance gliding over ice.

- My favourite food is a home cooked meal, be it from my own family or tasting the conventional delicacies of other nationalities, I enjoy the taste of tradition.

8. What would you like to accomplish if you win the Miss Universe Canada title?

Should the opportunity present itself, it would be the ideal circumstance for me to return so much of what has been available to me. Miss Universe Canada is a role model, lending her voice to that which matters. As a spokeswoman for Canada's people, I stand firmly behind community service. Assisting those who are close to you and who are part of your society is fundamental for a nation to flourish and be recognized world wide as people caring for people.

Active participation by any means possible acts as a building block, each small action amounts into every large accomplishment. I plan on assisting communities to endorse communication and motivational programs for children and young adults. My year as Miss Universe Canada will be filled with public appearance promoting my obtainable Utopia philosophy.

A motto that has served you as inspiration.

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give". - Kahlil Gibran
