She encouraged me when I was 6 to participate in a kid's pageant which was unknowingly a first step towards my journey in modelling. I have also taken party in college pageant and won the title of ‘Padua Princess-2014’ but unfortunately lost the title of ‘Miss Padua-2019’. This made me realise thar 'hard work is the key to success'. I have worked hard to get success and now I am proud that I have proved myself by winning the title ‘Miss Mangalore- 2023' first runner up. I will always be grateful to the NB Group for giving me a wonderful opportunity.”

“My dream is to be a runway model in passion, clinical pharmacist in profession and an inspiration to future models,” she added.
