What is the craziest thing you have ever done?

Last year I went to France to look for a Birmanian Sacred cat. People thought I was crazy , but I did not care. I took advantage of that trip and had the chance to experience the French culture and the beauty of France. I never thought my love for these animals would allow me to travel the world, learn about different cultures and open to the world around me. I am true to myself and that is what has made me go forward achieving my goals in life. I loved the experience and I would love to do it again this next summer.

What would you like to accomplish if you win Miss Univers Canada?

I would love to speak to school children about the importance of reaching their goals in life. Have the time to listen to them and talk to them would be a wonderful experience and a good thing to do for them and our country’s future. And also I would definetly would love to learn more about the remaining provinces of Canada in order to well represent them all in the Miss Universe Pageant.

J aimerais infiniment pouvoir parler aux jeunes dans les écoles afin de les motiver positivement dans l accomplissement de leurs buts. Pouvoir les écouter et les conseiller serait un beau geste pour eux et pour l avenir de notre pays. Évidement, je voudrais pouvoir apprendre encore plus sur le reste des provinces de ce pays afin pouvoir mieux le représenter a Miss universe.

A motto that as served you as inspiration.

In order for evil to win, it is enough with the indifference from the men of goodwill.
