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

Oprah Winfrey’s dedication to supporting children’s education globally and advocating for women’s safety and rights has had a profound influence on my life. Her efforts of using her platform to create opportunities for girls and women worldwide motivates me to pursue a path where I can make a meaningful difference. Oprah’s example teaches me the importance of using my education and voice to uplift others and fuels my ambition to build a nonprofit and support underserved communities, just as she has done through her philanthropy.

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

One of my proudest personal accomplishments was the balance I maintained throughout high school, excelling academically while staying actively involved in clubs, athletics, community volunteering, and youth mentorship. I focused on becoming a well-rounded student and leader, learning to manage my time, take initiative, and support those around me. All of this hard work and dedication was recognized when I received the Outstanding All-Round Student Award at my school out of nearly 400 students when I graduated in 2024.

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

In 2023, I visited Nepal and spent a week in a rural village with no electricity or electronics. This was an experience that truly changed my perspective. During my time there, I was involved in humanitarian work, distributing hygiene products and supporting local schools. I also spent a lot of time with farm animals. Living so simply while giving back to the community was eye-opening and it deepened my passion for community service.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?

My career ambition is to become a pediatrician because I am passionate about making a positive impact on children’s health and well-being all across the globe. To work towards this goal, I am studying at the University of British Columbia Vancouver, where I just finished my first year, to build a strong foundation in neuroscience and physiology. I also volunteer regularly at daycare centres, where I gain valuable experience interacting with children and understanding their needs. In the future, I plan to apply to medical school with a focus on pediatrics and continue gaining hands-on experience through clinical opportunities.

What would be your “dream job” in life?

My ultimate dream job is to give back to my community and underserved communities all across the world through medical volunteering. I’m already involved in volunteering in my local community, but as a pediatrician, I hope to combine my medical skills with my passion for volunteering to provide healthcare for children who need it most. I also aspire to start a nonprofit organization in the near future dedicated to bringing medical care and mental health support to these communities. Being Miss Universe Canada would give me a powerful platform to raise awareness and gain support for this cause, helping me turn this dream into a meaningful reality.
