WWhat is the craziest thing you have ever done?

When I was younger a friend and I wanted to go to a party. Because neither of us had a license or had access to a vehicle, I decided I would just take, my parents car. I completely thought I got away with it, until I got home and both my parents were sitting in the living room waiting for me. The Irony, the party ended up being horrible, ultimately leaving in around 10 minutes. I learnt my lesson.

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

Heart and stroke Foundation
Run for a cure
Cancer society
Children Cottage Society
What would be your “dream job” in life?
Owning my own dance studio, or owning my own marketing firm.

I picked these two because either or I enjoy both these things. And, know that both will influence my life in either direction I follow.

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

Being the youngest girl in the same year to both be teaching at and Elite dance studio. And, be dancing on the Stampeder Outrider Cheerleading Team.

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

That I always put my best foot forward, and never change who I am for anything. All thanks to my brother who taught me that no one cares who I can pretend to be, but instead who I really am. This has helped me live my life to the fullest potential, because the only person I portray is I.

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

Movie- Aladdin, all time favorite movie.

Song- Rosemary’s Granddaughter

Sport- I love playing Volleyball, but watching Football. Go, Stampeders!

Food- Vietnamese

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

To bring awareness to Cycle Cell Anemia, as well as being a good remodel for not only women but for everyone. By, supporting the idea that dreaming of the person you want to be is a waste of the person you are. Instead, always be the best person you can be.

A motto that has served you as inspiration.

Always stand for something because if you don’t you will fall for anything.
