Our Very Own Miss Supranational

Hailing from Orange, Alexandra Wallace, will soon take Poland by storm having been recently elected as Miss Supranational Australia 2019.

Growing up on a property just out of town, Alex studied at Kinross Wolaroi before leaving to study Biodiversity and Conservation at Macquarie University in Sydney.

Alex began modelling in 2010, at 16 years old. “Mum submitted some digital images to several agencies in Sydney and I was asked to meet with a few. I decided I wanted to finish school first, once I had finished, I moved to Sydney and I've been modelling ever since.”

“Being able to travel overseas to model has been a huge highlight working in this industry. I've lived in China, Thailand and Italy for work and have been there for extended periods of time, allowing me to absorb the culture and see some amazing things off the usual tourist paths.

“I was also selected to walk in Milan Fashion week and was Abbey Lee Kerhaws body double in ‘Gods of Egypt’ working alongside Gerard Butler, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Geoffrey Rush.

“My mum has been and is still my biggest inspiration throughout it all. Her love and support and hard work to raise, shelter, educate, push and nurture my brother and myself as a single parent is amazing and I know that I am lucky to have her.”

Alex was researching pageants when she came across Miss Supranational. “I'd heard of it before and a lot of girls I knew had also previously competed and said it was amazing. When I looked a little further into it, I knew it was a pageant I wanted to be a part of.

So, I sent an application in and was lucky enough to be selected. When I found out the owner had got it down to myself and another girl, I couldn't believe it! After final interviews, I got the call saying they had selected me, and the rest is history.”

The duties of Miss Supranational are to work for charitable causes as well as travelling the world promoting tourism, goodwill among all nations and a healthy image.

Along with Modelling, Alex found her true passion whilst studying, working with animals. “I'm currently studying a certificate four in Veterinary Nursing and an executive Diploma in Zoology. I would love to use all of these to go into working with our native wildlife and work within captive breeding programs.”

Alex flies out to Poland on Sunday to start the contest which happens on December 6, “I can't wait to meet my sisters of the sash and the hard-working Miss Supranational team, but mostly I can't wait to see what great things we will all accomplish together. When a group of driven, likeminded, compassionate people get together, magic can certainly happen.
