Ina Shehu

Age: 18 | Height: 5’8″
Hometown: Toronto

Ina Kasmollari is a creative, intelligent and courageous young woman. She is social and loves meeting new people—especially from different nationalities because she learns more about the different cultures in the world.

She has a very outgoing and cosmopolitan personality, and is not fearful of taking risks to experience new things.

Although born in Albania, Ina migrated to Canada at a young age and later gained her Canadian citizenship. She quickly fell in love with the country’s environment and lifestyle. Living in Toronto makes her proud to be a part of such a multicultural society.

Ina is a 2011 high school graduate who has a positive view of her future. She is determined to become the next successful model. With this dream very much in mind, Ina thought it best to also pursue another career choice: a social worker.

She believes that people in this field have always been helpful to the community particularly needy children and abused women. She takes this issue to heart and wants to contribute in aiding families overcome their difficulties. Ina has gone through her own hardships in life and understands that everyone has their own struggles but it is how we deal with those problems that makes one inspiring and strong.

With this knowledge at 18 years of age, Ina has been motivating her peers to be positive and confident in their lives so that they can overcome any challenges.

As a young child Ina was always passionate about soccer. People would often remember her as the little girl in a group of boys playing soccer near the field by her house. The sport was a source of liberation for her. She always felt comfortable and confident playing on the soccer field. She continued this interest in the sport throughout her teen years. In the process, Ina was introduced to many other subjects that might interest her.

She found herself loving the modeling and fashion industry. With her eldest sister as a photographer, Ina immediately felt comfortable in front of the camera. She realized then that this was the career choice for her. Ina loves modeling and the ability to present herself in a creative way. Her positivity in different areas in her life has been influenced by the support of her loving family and also her adorable dog, Lucky. She loves Lucky, who does not let her frown one bit. Lucky never fails to cheer Ina up with her playful spirit.

If Ina was chosen as the next Miss Universe Canada (and ultimately Miss Universe 2012) she would gratefully give as much help to the needy children, abused women and physically challenged people of the community. Through this help she hopes to reach the hearts of people and show them that inner beauty is the most valuable. Ina is the most sincere and reliable sister in the world. We wish her success for this competition and for the bright future that lies ahead.
