After the crowning, she told the media about ‘the moment’ when they called her name:

“I can’t describe exactly what I felt, but when they said my name the first thing I said was thank you to my creator. And then second in my head was, thank you to my parents. That is exactly what went through my head.

“I just knew my life changed completely at that moment, but for the better.”

The 6th year medical student has almost 50K followers on Instagam and loves to share inspirational quotes on her social media accounts.

The only person you should compete with in life is yourself. We often make the mistake of comparing our worst to someone else’s best. Remember, once we embrace who we are, we are unstoppable.❤
