About Aisan: Born in Ottawa and raised in Calgary, Aisan is a graduate of the University of Calgary where she completed a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Kinesiology. Upon graduation, she began working for a cardiovascular research firm where she contributed to a study involving a trial treatment for hypertensive patients. She has volunteered her time to various organizations including the Canadian Diabetes Association, where she acts as an educational speaker.

Aisan is a trained classical singer and has won several local singing competitions in the past. She recently had the opportunity to work on camera as guest host of a television show filmed in Calgary. Her unique name means “as beautiful as the moon” in Turkish.

Interests: Aisan attended a French immersion school from grades 7 to 9 and enjoys meeting up with a local French conversational club to practice the language. Apart from playing her piano and singing (both of which she has studied for over 10 years), Aisan also enjoys spending time with family and friends, working out and reading up on topics such as health, fitness and wellness.

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?

When I was younger, I ordered at a fast food drive-thru as my friend pushed me in a shopping cart!

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

I am a volunteer for the Canadian Diabetes Association for which I serve as an educational speaker, spreading awareness and providing information to the public about diabetes. This is a cause that is close to my heart as my grandmother passed away due to complications of this disease.

I have also volunteered and contributed to the Calgary Seniors’ Resource Society, Canadian Cancer Society, and Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta.

What would be your "dream job" in life?

My dream job would be to host a national television show focusing on the wonders of science. Science affects us everyday in fascinating and exciting ways. I would illustrate this via an interactive and straightforward program that would be easily comprehensible and appealing to all viewers and not just the scientific community.

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

I am especially proud to have received the silver medal award from the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto) for achieving the highest grade in a singing examination in all of Western Canada.

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

My family is central to my life and I am thankful to my parents for their role in guiding me towards the morals, values, and principals I hold today.

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

Movie: Of Mice and Men, starring Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.

Song: Plaisir D’Amour by Martini & Florian

Sport: Soccer

Food: Sweet Potatoes

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

As Miss Universe Canada, I would embrace the opportunity to speak publicly about issues that affect Canadian women today. Such issues include domestic violence, homelessness (which is increasingly affecting single mothers), sexual harassment and abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, breast cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, eating disorders, and diabetes.

I would demonstrate a positive, inspiring, and wholesome depiction of Miss Universe Canada to the Canadian public, especially young women. Additionally, I would represent Canada and its dynamic and multicultural people, with intelligence and grace on the international stage.

A motto that has served you as inspiration.

There are two mottos that I subscribe to: “Everything happens for a reason” and “The only failure is not to try”.
