My interests blend creativity, wellness, and impact. I love writing, public speaking, and using storytelling to drive conversations around mental health, leadership, law and women’s empowerment. I’m also passionate about movement whether it’s Pilates, CrossFit, or swimming. Modelling gives me a creative outlet, while travelling and brunch with friends help me recharge. I enjoy curating wellness experiences and volunteering in my community, especially when I can blend service with advocacy.

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

The person who has most influenced my life is Michelle Obama. Her ability to embody grace, intellect, and vulnerability while breaking barriers in spaces not built for her inspired me to pursue leadership unapologetically. She taught me that power doesn’t have to be loud, and that advocacy rooted in empathy can shift culture and policy at once. Her example helped me find my own voice in rooms where I was once told I didn’t belong.

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

One of my proudest accomplishments was becoming the youngest person in my role, something I never imagined when I was studying law late at night and doubting if I belonged in rooms full of senior executives. With extensive educational training and a few industry awards behind me, I led the negotiation of a $200 million M&A deal in the Oil and Gas Sector. But what makes me proud isn’t just the numbers, it’s knowing I did it while also raising funds and awareness for food banks, gender equity, advocating for mental health and showing that success means little unless you bring others with you.

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

I’ve traveled to over 100 countries for both business and pleasure and somewhere between a boardroom in South Africa and a camel ride in Morocco, I realized I thrive in contrast. I’ve debated energy policy by day and danced salsa in the streets by night. The most interesting thing about me? I can close a multimillion-dollar deal in heels, then eat dumplings solo at a street stall like it’s a Michelin-star moment. I live for intensity, but I find magic in the mundane.

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

My career ambition is to make a global impact by advising top-tier corporations on how to scale revenue while also embedding purpose into their strategy whether that’s through mental health programs, philanthropic initiatives, or community reinvestment. I believe profitability and responsibility don’t have to compete. I’m using Miss Universe Canada as a national platform to amplify that message, liaising with government leaders on policy reform, and working directly with Fortune 500 companies to build frameworks that value both people and performance. My goal isn’t just to lead at the table it’s to change what that table stands for.

What would be your “dream job” in life?

My dream job would blend business, influence, and storytelling, something between global strategy consultant, published author, and ambassador for social change. I want to work with the biggest companies in the world to drive both profit and purpose, while also using my voice through books, media, and public platforms like Miss Universe Canada to shape conversations around gender equity, wellness, and female leadership.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.

I was raised in a traditional household with big expectations. My childhood was disciplined, structured, and achievement-focused but it also gave me the resilience I carry today. I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon, but I did grow up with grit. That experience shaped my ability to adapt, lead, and dream beyond the limits I was given.

List any interesting or unusual jobs you may have had.

Recently, I negotiated a multi-million dollar contract by day and practiced my pageant walk in the boardroom after hours, heels on, of course. In the past, I’ve worked as a legal ghostwriter, supported international arbitration cases, and advised Fortune 500 executives on commercial strategy, all while secretly jotting down book ideas between meetings. It’s an unusual mix, but it reflects exactly who I am: equal parts corporate strategist and creative force.

List any volunteering you have done.

My volunteering has centered around promoting mental health, wellbeing, and community care. I organized a Paint & Sip fundraiser in partnership with Picnics Toronto, supported a public Wellbeing Walk to Saigon Park and hosted a Pilates-based wellness event, all aimed at making mental health support more approachable. I’ve also engaged in volunteer advocacy, including policy discussions with Premier Ford and Minister Vijay to support reform. Additionally, I’ve volunteered and raised funds for Seva Food Bank, partnered with Peel Police on food security initiatives, and supported/continue to support women’s equity through my involvement with WISE. For me, volunteering means turning ideas into impact.

What is your most unusual talent?

I can break down a 50-page contract while doing a full glam makeup routine, liquid eyeliner and liability clauses included. My brain switches between legal logic and creative chaos with zero warning, which makes me unusually good at both negotiation and winged eyeliner.

Where is the most interesting place you have been to?

Tokyo, Japan. It’s a city that feels like the future and the past had a child, where ancient shrines sit next to robot cafes, and every street corner is a study in contrast. It’s the only place where I’ve had a Michelin-star meal from a vending machine and meditated in a 700-year-old temple on the same day. It reminded me that harmony doesn’t mean sameness, it means honoring both chaos and calm.

What do you hope to be doing in ten years?

In ten years, I hope to be running a global strategy firm, publishing my third book, and advising corporations on how to lead with both profitability and purpose. But beyond the boardroom, I also want to coach and mentor young women who dream of entering pageantry, helping them believe that this new era is about advocacy, passion, and grit, not just arbitrary criteria.

Is there anything you would like to add that we haven’t asked?

If there’s one thing I’d like to add, it’s that I’ve never fit neatly into one box and I’ve stopped trying. I believe a woman can be strategic and sensitive, powerful and playful, disciplined and deeply creative. This journey has been about choosing growth over comfort, purpose over performance, and voice over silence. Whether I win or not, I hope to leave people a little more inspired to take up space and redefine what female empowerment looks like.
