Former Big Brother Canada houseguest Sindy "Sindy with an S" Nguyen is building a new palace: beauty queen.
The 27-year-old BBCAN 3 contestant from Huntsville, Ontario is one of the national finalists for the Miss Universe Canada 2016. Pageant week is currently underway in Toronto.
“It’s been a dream of mine to compete for Miss Universe Canada and to one day represent Canada at Miss Universe, but I’ve never applied before because I didn’t think that I was pretty, tall or smart enough to do it,” the assistant cruise director said.
“Being bullied throughout elementary and high school due to my race and colour didn’t help with that self-esteem.”
After her sojourn on Big Brother (she was the second person booted from the house but returned during a twist later that season; she was eventually unanimously evicted a second time, finishing in eleventh place), Nguyen turned her eyes to beauty pageants. She said competing bolstered her confidence.
“It increased my self-confidence, built my communication skills, taught me to be a leader, gave me the courage to speak to groups and audiences of all sizes and perfected my poise,” she added.
The winner of Miss Universe Canada will be announced on June 11th at the St. Lawrence Theatre.
