World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Please tell us about yourself.
I am a proud single mother of three amazing sons. I currently serve as a Fire Safety Manager at a top international school in Singapore—a role I earned through years of perseverance, growth, and self-upgrading. My career journey began as an Officer, and through sheer determination, I steadily rose to a managerial position, venturing into the property industry and carving out a path I’m deeply proud of.
Raising three brilliant sons on my own was never easy. I’ve been both mother and father to them, ensuring they had shelter, food, and—most importantly—access to education and lives comfortably. Today, they’ve grown into independent young men, each having completed their National Service and now contributing to reputable corporations. Our bond is incredibly strong, and they remain my greatest source of strength and motivation.
Every challenge I faced became a stepping stone, and every sacrifice was made with love. My sons inspired me to aim higher, to push forward, and to build a life filled with dignity, resilience, and purpose. I stand today not just as a mother, but as a woman who turned adversity into achievement—and I carry that strength with pride.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Please tell us about your education.
I hold a Master in Business Administration (MBA), which has equipped me with strategic leadership and management skills. I am a Qualified Fire Safety Manager certified by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), and I’m also certified in CERT Team and Facilities Management. Additionally, I’ve completed the Workplace Safety and Health Management System (WSHMS) Implementation Plan and hold a bizSAFE Level 4 certification—demonstrating my commitment to safety, compliance, and professional excellence.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What does women Empowerment means to you?
Women empowerment means giving every woman the freedom to define her worth, make her own choices, and influence change—without discrimination. It’s about courage, dignity, and the right to rise.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Tell us about your pageant history.
I entered the world of pageantry with no prior experience or knowledge—it was truly an eye-opening and heart-opening journey. From the very beginning, I was immersed in a space that celebrated personal growth, mental wellness, and the power of women uplifting one another. The experience taught me so much, not just about presentation and confidence, but about inner strength, self-care, and the importance of community.
One of the most meaningful aspects of my pageant journey was the friendships I formed. I met incredible women from all walks of life, and together we supported and encouraged each other through every step. It wasn’t just a competition—it was a sisterhood. The pageant world gave me a platform to grow, to advocate, and to shine—not just for myself, but for the causes I believe in.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What inspired you to do your first pageant?
Curiosity was my first spark—I wanted to understand what pageantry was truly about. I quickly discovered it’s not just about how beautiful you look on the outside, but how you carry yourself with grace, confidence, and purpose. Pageantry opened my eyes to a deeper mission: empowering other women, sharing stories of strength, and lifting each other up. It became a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and meaningful connection. Thanks to the Founder Ms Justina Quek who has faith in me and rise up to where i am now in pageantry world.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Why did you choose to compete for your current title?
I saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step onto an international platform that goes far beyond Singapore. It’s not just about the crown—it’s about the journey, the growth, and the incredible experience that comes with it. Competing for this title allows me to share my story, connect with inspiring women from around the world, and be part of a movement that celebrates strength, resilience, and purpose. It’s a chance to represent not only myself, but every woman who dares to rise.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: To those unfamiliar with your pageant system please tell us what is it about?
It’s not just about beauty and brains. It’s about women empowering each other, lifting one another up, and creating a space where motivation, support, and sisterhood thrive. This pageant system celebrates inner strength, personal growth, and the courage to lead with purpose. It’s a platform where women from all walks of life come together to inspire change—not just in themselves, but in their communities and beyond.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What are you being judged on during the competition?
In the pageant, we are judged on much more than appearance. It’s about how we walk and talk—with poise, confidence, and grace. Judges look for a spirited attitude, empathetic and compassionate traits, and the ability to connect with others through strong interpersonal and communication skills. It’s a celebration of inner beauty, emotional intelligence, and the power to inspire through presence and purpose.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Tell us about your experience during the competition.
Stepping into the competition was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating. I felt a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, anticipation, and a touch of fear. But beneath it all, I stood confident and brave, ready to embrace the challenge and move forward. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and into a space of growth, self-discovery, and empowerment. Every moment on that stage reminded me of how far I’ve come and how strong I truly am.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Tell us about your platform or what cause do you volunteer for.
I am deeply committed to advocating for women around the world who face domestic violence. No woman should live in fear, silence, or shame. My mission is to empower survivors to reclaim their voice, their strength, and their freedom. I believe in creating safe spaces where women can rise, heal, and rebuild their lives with dignity.
Through my platform, I stand up for every woman who has been hurt, silenced, or overlooked. I speak out to break the cycle of abuse and to inspire change—because when one woman stands, she gives others the courage to stand too.

Since winning, I’ve been featured in Singapore Press Holding - Berita Harian to inspire women all over the world inspiring my stories and appeared across media platforms. I’ve represented my advocacy and conducted motivational sharing sessions to inspire others. Wearing the crown is more than a symbol—it’s a responsibility. I use it to uplift voices, build connections, and lead with purpose.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What are some of your achievements, both in and out of pageantry?
I’m honored to have earned multiple titles throughout my pageant journey, including Mrs Singapore Global Universe 2024/25 and Second Runner-Up at Mrs Global Universe 2025. I’ve also been recognized as Mrs Millennium, Queen of People’s Choice, Iconic Women of the Year, and Special Queen Ambassador.
In 2024, I proudly held titles such as Mrs Universe South Pacific Asia, Mrs Universe Charm, Mrs Heritage Beauty, and Diamond Queen. I also received the Women of Excellence Award and the Top Women Award for my dedication to empowerment and community impact.
