Mrs World 2009
The world final in Vietnam was an amazing 3 week journey. I met so many incredible women from all over the world, different ages and cultures, different personalities. I had an opportunity to showcase Australia on the international stage, and I had an absolute blast doing it. I deeply envy the woman crowned Mrs World 2010 because I’d give anything to do it all again in Korea!  Everything from my visit to the Vung Tau school for special needs children to being selected for a helicopter ride over the Bia Ria Vung Tau peninsula with Mrs Indonesia, to the hilarious evening dance rehearsals with the girls, these are all moments I will cherish forever. The international pageant is an amazing experience. It was so much more than I expected.

Ovarian Cancer Australia
Becoming the official spokesperson for Ovarian Cancer Australia meant that I would actually have to overcome my fear of public speaking! I’ve done that and so much more since last year. I have appeared on behalf of OCA at fundraisers and sporting events, I joined the Sydney campaign for Ovarian Cancer Awareness month, February 2010 and working closely with sponsors Napoleon Perdis we made a huge impact on awareness raising efforts across NSW. During Ovarian Cancer Awareness month I took an active role in raising awareness durin TV, radio interviews and web campaigns for OCA. I was official Master of Ceremonies at the OCA ‘Health, Wealth and Style’ party and appeared at in-store promotional campaigns and at the staff rally for the wonderful team at Napoleon Perdis. I was made an Ovarian Cancer Australia Community Ambassador in February 2010 and I hope to continue working with the girls at OCA in the future so that we can make some real positive changes to the level of awareness about Ovarian Cancer in Australia.

Mrs Australia International 2010
I am so excited to be Mrs Australia International 2010 and to be heading off to Chicago in July for the world final. Being a double title-holder itself is an accomplishment I had never dreamed of. I really hope to make a seriously fabulous, beautiful and uniquely Australian mark on the USA at Mrs International. I’m already surrounded by positive energy for this competition and I’m taking it with me all the way! I hope with the valuable experience I have gained from Mrs World 2009 I will bring some more exposure for Ovarian Cancer Australia (My chosen platform charity) and raise awareness about the early warning signs of Ovarian Cancer at an international level.  With the loving support of my Husband Vik (who will be accompanying me to Chicago) and my Daughter Sahara, and all my family and friends here in Australia I know I will make some great Aussie waves. To my family, my friends, my facebook fans and all the wonderful hard-working married Aussie women out there. Thank you for your support and encouragement.  Remember to believe in yourself, believe in positive change and beautiful awareness.
