20 year old Ghazal was born and raised in Tehran, Iran. Her parents are from Azerbaijan and she came to Canada in 1997 with her parents and her 9 year old sister. She is currently attending the University of Toronto where she is in her second year majoring in Psychology & Biology and she plans on becoming an Orthodontist in the future.

She considers herself a role model to her sister which is why this opportunity of being in the Miss Universe Canada pageant is very important to her. Ghazal loves anything that has to do with the outdoors. Playing tennis, soccer, swimming, rollerblading, and biking are just some of her favorite things to do in the summer.

She also loves being around her friends and family. One of her hobbies is traveling and wishes she had the opportunity to travel all over the world. She sees life as ‘a one way journey that you can never turn back’.

Ghazal values her time and is always challenging herself to make the best of it. She is busy with school which she loves and in her spare time, she loves listening to music and dancing.

If she had the chance of becoming Miss Universe Canada, she would dedicate her time and effort to raise awareness to important issues such as child molestation and try to create and enforce laws against it. She would also raise awareness to the wildness that we destroy everyday (tropical rainforests and animal cruelty).

There are certain crazy things she would like to do in here life time (bungee jumping, sky diving, swimming with sharks, and a few more). Ghazal is proud to be a Canadian and appreciates everything Canada stand for, not only a multicultural country rich in different cultures, but a country of opportunities for people from all walks of life.
