Finalist Miss Canada 2019
Alexandra M
Hello,
From Oka, Quebec, my name is Alexandra and I’m 20 years old.
I live in an orchard where I work, among other things, as chef of the wood-burning oven at the family-agrotourism firm and as manager of the kitchens. I am very proud to have been named – 2014 Laurentide Tourism Succession to the Quebec Tourism Awards for the quality of my work and my service to the customers.
Currently, I am studying Tourism Management at the Quebec Tourism and Hotel Institute. This program allows me to do rewarding internships that teach me a lot about my profession. Last winter I was 2 ½ months in Guadeloupe to do an internship with Club Med.
In the future, I am interested in several areas such as representation in communication, hospitality and / or take over from the family business. I have many projects and dreams to realize, I must say that I am a determined girl with great perseverance. My dyslexia brought me learning difficulties, but also allowed me to learn to excel myself.
I am a playful, determined, smiling and persevering girl who loves life and challenges. I love to take time for the people I love. And I like meeting new people and experiencing new experiences to get out of my routine even though my priority is my family. I am a kind hearted girl always ready to help.
In the past, I participated in another contest that gave me a family and the title of Miss Teen Quebec 2015. Before I was very shy, but thanks to this experience it allowed me to have more self-confidence and have a lot more interpersonal skills.
My goal in participating in the Miss Canada contest would be to get involved in all kinds of charities to help people in need and to inspire everyone to make them understand that even if life puts obstacles in our way we can get by, because when we want we can. With determination and perseverance nothing can stop us. I want to make a difference in people’s lives.
