Miss Australia Pageants
NATIONAL FINALIST 2024
I am excited to announce that I have recently been selected as a Western Australian National Finalist for Miss Australia Pageants 2024.
Miss Australia Pageants aims to provide a platform for women to have a voice. Encompassing pageantry, deportment, modelling, public presentation and leadership the Miss Australia Pageants holds the Australian National Directorship to Miss Global, Miss Intercontinental and Miss Supranational.
Charity work is also integral to the Miss Australia Pageants ethos and part of the brief to contenders in each state is that they volunteer their time and fundraise within their communities for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
The National Final will be held on the 9th October - 13th October 2024 at the InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort in Queensland.
NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION CHARITY
As a National Finalist for Miss Australia Pageants I have the opportunity to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Every day 57 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer. Raising money aids world-class breast cancer research to help National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) towards their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
Ever since I was young, I have been a supporter of Cancer research, participating in the Pink Triathlon for years, having family and friends affected by Cancer.

STEP UP TO BREAST CANCER CHALLENGE
This August, I am running 57km to support the 57 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer every day. All efforts benefit NBCF and their mission to fight breast cancer.

MISS AUSTRALIA PAGEANTS TOP 10
I was so pleased to place in the top 10! Definitely not something I was expecting for my first ever pageant! Thank you so much to the whole MAP family. National Directors Sophia and Charlotte have made such a welcoming and female empowering competition and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet such inspiring women. Due to the nature of the pageant lasting multiple days we were all able to get to know each other so well and I can't wait to see the new Queens shine on the International Stage!
