World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Can you share a bit about who you are? Like, what are your passions outside of the pageant world?
Outside of pageants I love to dance, and perform on stage. I've been dancing for 11 years now and love how it pushes me to try new things and express myself.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: I’m curious about your education journey. What's it been like for you, any particular highlights or challenges?
In year 6 I was head girl for my year, and was awarded the principles award. In year 8 I was Faction Captain for my house. Now in year 10 I am a house captain for my faction. Since year 8 semester 2 I have received academic excellence awards for achieving a high level report. Now that I am year 10 this specific semester's report will choose my pathway for the next few years.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: How did you get into pageants? What sparked your interest initially?
I got into pageants because I knew people who competed in previous years. After seeing this I was curious and decided to try Premier Elite out. I believed that pageants would build my confidence and try new things.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What motivated you to participate in your first pageant? Was there a defining moment?
When I saw what Premier Elite offered and what their values were, I was hooked. Though I was younger, I still believed that Premier would be a special opportunity.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Why did you choose to compete for your current title? What made it stand out for you?
I chose to compete for Teen Miss 2025 because, I thought after 2 years of getting 1st Runner-Up to amazing girls, I would try again, and hopefully this time would be my time.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: I'd love to know more about your pageant system. Could you explain what it’s all about?
In my words, I believe that Premier Elite Pageants is a sisterhood that offers an encouraging environment for girls to express themselves and grow their confidence. Premier Elite offers an experience where you leave with more friends/sisters than you came in with.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What do you think sets your pageant director apart from others?
I think what sets Renata apart from anyone else is her kind and compassionate heart. Ren is one of the kindest and friendliest people I know. She always manages to put a smile on your face. She is so supportive and understanding, and will make you feel the most comfortable.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: During competitions, what are the key things you're judged on?
In the competition, some of the key things you are judged on are your presentation (smile, posture and walk), your outfit suitability, age appropriateness and confidence.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What’s your competition experience been like? Any memorable moments or learnings?
During the pageant my experience was very special. Spending time with my best friends and making new friends is so special. I absolutely loved sharing the stage with everyone, especially my fellow teen competitors, Maddi and Grace.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Would you recommend your pageant system to others? If so, why?
I would absolutely recommend Premier Elite Pageants to others because it offers a safe space to grow your confidence, make new friendships, join a special sisterhood, and try something new.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Tell me about your advocacy or volunteer work. What causes are you passionate about?
I am most passionate about the program STARZ Dance. They offer dance classes to those who need extra assistance in a regular dance class. I raised money for STARZ, attended some of their classes to help out, and watched them perform at their end of year concert.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Can you share some of your achievements, both in and outside of pageantry?
In the middle of last year, I was offered a spot in the Brent Street Academy (a popular dance studio) in Sydney to do full time dance and schooling. I did not accept, however it was a big accomplishment I achieved. I have also now been awarded 2 full scholarships to attend their holiday camps.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: In such a competitive field, what do you think makes you stand out?
I think my stage presence when I'm walking makes the audience feel like they're having fun with me, which makes the walk more entertaining
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: I can only imagine how it feels to win. What was going through your mind when your name was announced as the winner?
When my name was called, I was in disbelief. I did have a slight hope that my name would be called, however I thought it would be Maddi's name. So when I heard my name I was in shock and Maddi being one of my closest friends, we were both so proud of each other.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What does be a Beauty Queen mean to you?
Being a beauty queen is setting a good example for those who look up to you, and representing the pageant system with pride and kindness.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: How have pageants impacted your life?
Pageants have impacted my life because they have grown my confidence, opened many doors for me and let me meet some of the kindest people I know.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: You’re an inspiration to many. How does that feel, and what message do you want to share with others?
I feel proud and honoured to be an inspiration to people, and if I were to say one thing to them I would say be your true authentic self.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What’s your strategy for captivating the judges on stage?
My strategy for captivating the judges is eye contact. Looking at each judge individually and giving them a smile will show them you're excited to be on stage and will make them want to watch you.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: How do you prepare for competitions? Any specific routines or practices?
I try to stay calm and think of what I need to do on stage. I think of exciting things about the competition and I love to talk to myself about how I will do great and do the dance mum's handshake before going on.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Got any tips for nailing the perfect pageant walk?
Strut your stuff. In other words, be confident. Do not hesitate. If you trust yourself and just be confident you will nail it.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Choosing the right pageant dress can be crucial. What are your tips for making the best choice?
I try to find a dress that will compliment my skin tone. I also find one that isn't too simple but isn't too extravagant. In other words, a dress with a little sparkle is perfect for me.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Interview rounds can be tricky. What are your strategies for a winning interview?
I try to stick to the question and go in being prepared but not too confident. I like to use an engaging tone and try not to talk too fast.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What common mistakes do you see others making in contests?
One common mistake I see contestants, including myself making, is stressing out. I believe that keeping calm before going on stage is the best, because you don't want to look too stressed and tense when walking.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What are your plans or goals for the upcoming year as a Queen?
I hope to show people that being queen is more than just a sash and a crown but also being kind and compassionate to others.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Finally, what kind of legacy do you hope to leave behind?
I hope to leave behind a legacy of being the kind, friendly and hopefully funny queen. I want to leave a positive impact.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine would like to say thank you for this wonderful interview.
