I would like to thank all the worldwide judges who voted for me and give a hearty congratulations to all my fellow contestants, it truly has been a huge honour standing beside these talented individuals during this journey.”
Her ‘Ride The Intro’ challenge was heralded as “original” “dynamic” and “energetic” by the 120 industry judges who took part in the final round.
