My journey into pageantry wasn't about crowns or sashes -- it was about finding my voice as a mother and using it to uplift others. As a Thai-British mother, I experienced firsthand the challenges that come with motherhood: the isolation, the pressure to be perfect, and the silent struggles that so many mothers face.

Resilience became my anchor. Through every challenge -- balancing motherhood, navigating cross-cultural identity, and facing personal adversities -- I discovered that resilience isn't about never falling. It's about rising every single time, stronger and more compassionate than before.

This resilience is what carried me to the Mrs. World stage. Not just physical preparation or talent, but the deep inner strength forged through real-life motherhood. My platform 'Save the Mothers' is dedicated to maternal mental health awareness, because every mother deserves to know she is not alone.

"Resilience is not the absence of struggle -- it is the courage to keep going, and the grace to lift others as you rise."

Today, I champion mothers' mental health globally, advocating for accessible resources, breaking stigma around postpartum depression, and empowering mothers to seek help without shame.
