What would be your "dream job" in life?

My dream job in life would be to become someone of inspiration to young people today. Maybe someone famous or even a regular person, as long as I am doing something that makes others look up to me as a role model .

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

Getting through the difficult times that have crossed my path in the past, and changing my life around to be where I am today, in my school, work, and life as a whole.

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

That I am straight forward and to the point. I do not beat around the bush, and if you ask me my opinion I'll tell you the truth. I also enjoy meeting new people all the time. Little things fascinate me!

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

-My favourite movie would have to be “Life or something like it”, starring Angelina Jolie, it has hidden meanings throughout, and can teach a person a lot about rushing through life!
-One of my favourite songs would be Micheal Jackson's “Man in the Mirror”.
-I don't play very many sports, however, when I get the chance to I enjoy playing Volleyball in the sand the most!
-Mmm, food. I have a lot of favourites, and there isn't anything I wouldn't eat, but I have to say that Sushi would be number one. Only because I have it almost 4 times a week!

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

Winning the Miss Universe Canada title would be an honour to any woman. If I was chosen I'd use my title to reach out to young children of the next generation. I would like to accomplish my goal of making young children's dreams come true. Give them hope for the future in letting them know that despite where they have come from, what colour their skin is, and how much money they have, they can grow up to become whatever they want to. Especially living in Canada, there is no one race, there are many, and everyone is his or her own unique individual. I would use this title to reach out to them and teach them how to reach out to others.

A motto that has served you as inspiration.
