Isa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™m different from the stereotypical pageant girl because I know pageants arensa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™t just about gowns and makeup, they are about etiquette and grace. I love to learn new things to better myself and I just want to be the best version of myself that I can be!
Being different from everyone else can be hard in todaysa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s society. I was bullied in school, but I never let that define me. I always held my head up high and always stayed positive. I had to learn to just not care what anyone had to say about me.
Joining the Miss BC pageant has already given me that extra step of confidence! After just retiring from being a West Kelowna Ambassador, I know that I would love to continue being a leader and representing amazing cities here in B.C.!
