What is the craziest thing you have ever
done?
At the age of 15, me and my friends tried to sneak
backstage at the NSYNC concert. Unfortunately, we
got caught by they security guards, but they were
nice enough to let us stay.
What Charity/ Charities have you supported
with your time and/ or resources over the past two
years?
I helped my high school organize fund raising concerts
and performance for various charities such as the
Children’s Wish Foundation, Heart and Stroke
Foundation, charities for burn victims as well as
abused women. In addition, I volunteered at my church
for World Youth Day. I was in charge of advertising
the event, finding housing for the children, and helping
at the Welcoming Party.
What would be your “dream job”
in life?
My dream job would include marketing, fashion, and
networking with people. Therefore I would find public
relations to be a field I would enjoy. Interacting
with clients and designers on a daily basis and presenting
my creative marketing ability to them would be a job
that I would never get tired of doing.
Name one personal accomplishment that makes
you especially proud.
Coming out of high school, and beginning adulthood,
there were many changes in my life. Especially, within
the last year, I found it difficult to balance my
time between my university studies, my job, family
and friends and the Miss Universe Canada Pageant.
A personal accomplishment for me has been finding
a balance in my life and taking the time to enjoy
each aspects of it.
What is the most important thing that you
want people to know about you?
I want people to know that I am an intelligent and
extremely hard working person. I always set goals
for myself whether it is at school, work or in my
personal life. This keeps my motivated to reach my
full potential and allows me to maintain my priorities.
What is your favorite movie, song, sport
and food?
I am still a kid at heart and I love all the classic
Disney movies. However, my favorite one has to be
Cinderella because what girl does not hope for that
fairy tale ending.
My favorite song is “I’m a survivor”
by Destiny’s Child. The message in this song
is to always have a positive attitude in life, no
matter what happens. You learn valuable lessons from
these difficult situations, and they only make you
stronger as a person. I find Destiny’s Child
to be inspiring roles models for young women, and
I that is why I look up to them.
As a Canadian, I love to watch Hockey Night in Canada;
I think it is an important tradition in our country.
It has become our national sport and helped create
an identity for our culture.
My favorite food is my grandmother’s homemade
pierogies, which I could eat everyday.
What would you like to accomplish if you
win the Miss Universe Canada?
As Miss Canada, I would want to get involved with
communities, charities, and other organization across
Canada to address some of our nation’s problem.
For example, a recent problem has been teen and gun
violence. I would engage in public speaking in communities
and schools, and initiate programs that would help
teens stay off the streets.
Another issue I feel strongly about is the abuse
of women and children, I would want to create more
awareness of this problem and help organizations,
such as United Way reach out to these victims. But,
overall, I want to be a good role model for my country
and address the issues and problems that pose a concern
for our nation
