"I firmly believe that the true beauty of a real beauty queen lies from within. She should have an immaculate and good heart and must be an effective advocate of worthy causes. I hope I will inspire a lot of married women that we can certainly make contributions to our country with a cause. It is my childhood quest to be of help and it honed me to be a better person. As a registered social worker it motivated me even more to realize my purpose. I indulge myself in charities and volunteer works that in my littlest of ways purpose has been served."
