My name is Kirti, a 21-year-old Bachelor of Business Administration student at North Island College, pursuing a career in accounting with the goal of becoming a Chartered Professional Accountant. I am deeply passionate about building a strong professional foundation while continuously growing both academically and personally. 

From a young age, I’ve been immersed in the fast-paced world of business, working at my father’s restaurant since I was just 14 years old. What began as a way to support my family quickly became a powerful learning experience that shaped who I am today. Even now, while balancing my college education, I continue to work only on weekends now—an experience that has taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of strong communication. Interacting with new customers every day has strengthened my confidence and allowed me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. 

Miss Canada represents more than just a competition to me—it is a platform for growth, empowerment, and impact. I see it as an opportunity to enhance my skills, elevate my voice, and inspire others to step outside their comfort zones. Through this journey, I hope to grow into the best version of myself while encouraging others to believe in their potential and pursue their dreams with confidence.
