Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?

The person who had the most influence in my life is one of my best friends that I used to be close to. For this reason is because, she really got me into the things that I’m passionate about today. I got into the art of makeup, fashion, and pageantry because of her. She’s really determined to accomplish something when she’s really passionate about it and that really influenced me because it encouraged me to do the same. I really look up to her because of that. She motivates me to go out of my comfort zone and be the best that I can be.

What is your proudest personal accomplishment (other than participating in this pageant)? 

My proudest personal accomplishment was being chosen to attend a national event last year called Top Model Search Canada and I’m proud to say that I’ll be attending again this year. Getting to the Top 15 at Miss North Ontario 2018 was also a great accomplishment for me because all the hard work paid off. In the end it really built up my self-esteem and confidence.

What is the most interesting or unique thing that has ever happened to you and/or what is the most interesting thing about you? 

The most interesting thing about me is that I have a higher pain tolerance than the average person. I went through many stiches when I was younger and never shed a tear. When I got my wisdom teeth removed, they only used freezing on me, and I was awake throughout the entire process.

A couple times in high school, we did an activity where we would sleep in a box overnight in a grocery store parking lot. Outside the store we asked people for funds, the money would go to the homeless and it counted for our volunteer hours. I have done score keeping and lines for some volleyball games at school. Christmas caroling for donations to the food bank. Helped out when my school they had open doors for new students to see the school.
