1) Why do you want to become the 1st ever UK’s Dazzling Beauty 2012?
I would like to become the 1st ever UK’s Dazzling Beauty 2012 because it would provide me with a good foundation from which to build from in order to establish a career in the world of modeling. Also, I would be part of an event helping to raise awareness of three worthy charities. Furthermore, I aim to be a positive role model for others. Winning this title would be a dream come true and as Walt Disney once said ‘All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.’
2) What are your 3 biggest achievements to date?
Achieving my personal targets in my school grades. I worked really hard to achieve them and knowing all my hard work had paid off was very rewarding.
I have been in a TV commercial for a company called MoneyGram which was aired in the Philippines.
Forming a girl band and successfully auditioning for the student Christmas concert at school. Although we were not note perfect, the audience loved us.
3) What education, qualification and work experience do you have?
All of my GCSE’s are between C to A*. I did two weeks work experience with Shake Dance Company working for Rachel King, founder and chief choreographer.
4) Describe yourself in 3 words?
Friendly, creative and outgoing.
5) How would your friends and family describe you?
My friends and family would describe me as talkative, friendly and the girl next door – down to earth, kind and caring.
6) What are your goals dreams and aspirations?
I appreciate that education is important so my immediate goal is to finish my A-Levels. I then hope to go to university to study either art or photography with a view to a future career in teaching.

11) What makes you a Dazzling Beauty and what qualities do you have that make you unique, special and loveable? (ie. talents, skills, abilities, strengths, ambitions?)
I believe I am a Dazzling Beauty because I am comfortable in my own body and am not afraid to be myself. I am a people person, I like meeting new people, socialising with friends and I find helping other people rewarding. Confident, friendly and cheerful, I live life to the full and always have a positive outlook.
