If you had told me a year ago or even 3 months ago that I would be competing the state finals for Miss World Australia, I would have said there was no way. I hate public speaking and cannot smile to save my life. I'm thrilled to announce that I am a NSW state finalist and will be competing for the crown in Melbourne in July🎉🙈👑 Yesterday's experience was absolutely incredible, nerve wracking, exciting, and so much fun! I got to meet some truly amazing young women, all with beautiful hearts, dreams and aspirations. I'm eager to see where this journey takes me and what else is in store. Thank you everyone for all the support I've received, it hasn't gone unnoticed and I'm so grateful for everyone in my life, I am so lucky to have amazing friends and family. Special shout out to @sylwialukosz for beautifying me at 6:30am, @tinaholycouture for the stunning gown pictured, @maggiewangmakeup for my touch ups and re-curling my mane of hair, and finally @missworldaustralia thank you for this experience. I'm so excited to see where this journey takes me and for everything I have and will experience. I cannot wait!
