Graziella Fadel is a nineteen year old student at the University of Toronto. She is pursuing a double major in English and French in hopes of becoming an elementary school teacher. Graziella has always had a passion for children and feels that it is our duty to educate the younger generations and give them the confidence they need in order to become future leaders. She is currently volunteering in a Grade One classroom helping kids with their reading skills. 

Born in Canada and raised by a Lebanese father and an Egyptian mother Graziella keeps her middle-eastern heritage close to heart. She hopes to show the North American world the positive in her middle-eastern background that the media easily forgets.

Graziella has been trained in ballet and tap and feels that dance has moulded in her into the person she is today. Her other hobbies include reading, travelling and spending time with friends and family. She would like to thank her parents for being with her every step of the way, and for constantly supporting her with every endeavour.

Graziella also has experience with pageants as she competed in Miss Africanada Beauty and Heritage Pageant 2008, as well as Miss Lebanon Emigrant 2009. She landed in the top 5 for both pageants. She hopes to be able to represent Canada for the title of Miss Universe Canada 2010.
