Finalist Miss Canada 2022
Pushpitha K
Hello,
My name is Pushpitha, and I am born to immigrant parents and reside in the city of Brampton. My main mission in life is to pursue the passions that come my way and live outside my comfort zone. As someone who grew up with ADHD, I overcame the struggles with learning by discovering my own unique learning techniques and accommodations. Now, I have completed a degree in Biology, focusing on forensic science, and am currently on my way to graduating with my second degree in Bachelor of Science in Nursing. After completing my studies at Trent University, my next step is opening up my own medical practice as a Nurse Practitioner to help women feel their most confident and beautiful selves.
Health, wellness, and spirituality are essential to my daily routine, whether it be through practicing meditation, belly dancing, or cuddling next to my golden retriever, Rio. Having a dependable and grounding routine is crucial for any ambitious woman, especially for those with ADHD. Working with an ADHD mentor helped me uncover the tools and resources available in society to live joyfully and communicate with others more effectively. My goal is to be empathetic and inspire other youths who face the same challenges to become unstoppable at any goal they aspire to achieve. Unstoppable You is my main message and mission as a role model to Canadian elementary students.
Overcoming my own challenges with ADHD has taught me to be more authentic and comfortable in my own skin. I am determined to use the Miss Canada platform to make a difference in the lives of youth across Canada and to make my mark in the world.
