o What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
- One freezing cold night last winter my friend and I were in a playful mood and we decided to go frolic in the snow during a blizzard. We went tobogganing and made snow angels at 1 am.
o What charity/charities have you supported with your time and/or resources over past two years? - Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Epilepsy Toronto and the Yorkwoods Public Library
o What would be your "dream job" in life? - My dream job would be a broadcast journalist or a TV show host.
o Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a Miss Universe Canada contestant) that makes you especially proud. - I recently had the opportunity to represent Canada in the Reinado del Caf? pageant in Manizales, Colombia. It was an amazing experience visiting Colombia and meeting other delegates from all over the world. I was not expecting to win the crown but I did, and I felt very honored to be awarded such a title as well as to be representing Canada. This experience made me especially proud because I was one of the only people there who could not speak Spanish, and I managed not to let language become a barrier for me.
o What is the most important thing you want people to know about you? - I am a compassionate, loyal and honest person and I like learning and evolving. I accept people from all walks of life.
o What is your favourite movie, song, sport, and food? - My favourite movie is The Count of Monte Cristo - My favourite song is Time to Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman - My favourite sport is volleyball - My favourite food is fettuccine alfredo
o What would you like to accomplish if you win the Miss Universe Canada title? - I would like to bring awareness and contribute help to causes that are important to me and that are present in our country today, such as poverty and HIV/AIDS. It is important for people to be educated on the topics and to know exactly what they can do to help and prevent the problems. I also think it is important to talk to school children about issues such as self- esteem and bullying because these are problems facing the youth of Canada.
o A motto that has served you as inspiration. - Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
