1. Tell us about your job/studies.
I have recently completed my Bachelor Degree in Textile and Fashion Design (with Honors) and it is my intention to study further through MIE by doing an additional full-time year course and then my Master degree so that I can become a lecturer.
2. How are you preparing for Miss Mauritius?
I am preparing rigorously for Miss Mauritius. I am focusing on interview skills, health and fitness, putting together a fashionable wardrobe and practicing my dance routine daily. I also set aside a quiet time everyday to reflect upon the Miss Mauritius challenge and pray for guidance, wisdom and courage to do my best.
3. What’s your daily routine?
Unfortunately I have to split it into a weakly routine-
Gym workout 6 times a week (morning)
Yoga 2 times a week (Tuesday and Thursdays)
Aerobics 3 times a week (afternoon- Monday, Wednesday and Friday)
Dance routine 3 times a week
Swimming 2 times a week
The gap in between I am analyzing international pageants on the internet, designing my new wardrobe for the contest and attending any rehearsals/meetings required for the contest.
4. How do you feel about spending a week in a Hotel with other candidates?
I am looking forward to this opportunity of being part of the whole ambiance which I am sure will be great. I have already taken the liberty of visiting the hotel to view the facilities and prepare myself mentally for the challenge ahead.
5. Which elements of Miss Mauritius are you most looking forward to?
The miss elegance competition, which I imagine to be a formal and graceful affair.
The interaction with other contestants and the beginnings of new friendships.
6. Do you have a message to the other Miss Mauritius Contestants?
“Let us all drop our masks, put aside any indifference and accept each other for whom we are”.
7. What do you think are your qualities that you will bring to the competition?
A combination of mental strength and determination, a challenge that I have prepared for well and the willingness to give it my best shot. These qualities will hopefully give me the edge over the other contestants.
8. What individual talents will separate you from the other contestants?
My strategy is not to focus or excel in any one talent but rather to do well in all facets of the competition to show to the organisers and judges that I am versatile and an all-rounder. I intend to arrive fit and healthy, looking my best, well presented and with a positive attitude.
9. What would it mean to you to do well at Miss Mauritius?
I feel that it would be a just reward for the hard work and preparation that I am doing. It would be a blessing from ‘Up Above’ that I would not take for granted.
10. What is your favourite landmark?
The cliffs that fall into the ocean at Gris-Gris, together with the powerful waves that have created ‘Le Souffleur. It depicts the wild side of the Mauritian shore line.
11. What is one thing you cannot live without?
Exercise- for me it’s become a way of life and I am miserable if I am unable to exercise.
