I am a 23 year old living in Auckland, New Zealand where I was born and raised. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in which I majored in Marine Biology and Environmental Science. I have always loved nature, animals and the outdoors and am planning to continue post graduate study of the Marine sciences through the University of Auckland starting in February!

Last May I competed in our national pageant, Miss New Zealand, where I placed in top 6, was awarded 4th Princess and was chosen as Miss Intercontinental New Zealand 2018. I loved every minute of my journey which came with so many rewards such as the growth in my confidence and belief in myself, making amazing friends whom I will now cherish for life and all of us together raising more than $35,000 for our chosen charity.

I am so lucky to have the chance to come to the Philippines as a representative for New Zealand and can’t wait to see what this new journey brings me.
