first attempt to beauty pageantry was Miss Earth2007 where she emerged
First Runner-up and crowned Miss International2007. According to her,
this competition really gave her exposure andseveral opportunities like

certificate from the Mayor ofTropoja. She was also part of the seven
contestants whose pictureswere used to represent the continents of the
