Renee is a 24 year old from Melbourne. Her goal is to open up a swimwear business creating artistic pieces for all body types for all women to feel empowered within their authentic self, or working around the world experiencing different cultures whether this will be for modelling or her dermal profession. An interesting fact about Renee is that she comes from a half Lebanese and half Maltese background.

Her biggest achievement to date is completing her four year bachelors degree in Dermal science and celebrating by travelling around Europe for 9 weeks. People Renee looks up to are the powerful figures in her life such as my hard working parents and family members, however someone's footsteps she would like to follow in would be Princess Diana. She did breakthrough community work to bring awareness to charities ad research and Renee would love to enhance what has already been done and inspire younger women continue this for years to come. Renee's chosen career path is a skin specialist. Her degree in Dermal science allows her to work along side other healthcare professionals to perform advanced skin treatments and educate clients on the health of their skin. Renee enjoys meeting a wide range of clients who come from different walks of life and providing them with the tools, support and resources to take control of their skin health and boost their confidence.

In her spare time Renee enjoys thrift shopping, pilates and spending down time at the beach. Recently being diagnosed with Epilepsy this is an important issue Renee wishes to use my platform to advocate for. Renee hopes to do so by sharing stories of my experiences with seizures and connecting with like-minded people on a podcast and educating the community. Furthermore creating change and pushing for movement towards research and support for women suffering with Endometriosis as two of her best friends have suffered with this.

Sarah SAID-SMITH

Sarah is a Sydney born and raised Australian and Egyptian Model, Creative and Marketer. Coming from a scholarly household, Sarah managed to balance her creative passions alongside her intellectual conquests, with her great achievement of completing a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Sydney.

With a childhood passion for fashion and modelling, Sarah started out her career as a Model during high school, and has since been in the industry for 8 years. The pathway allowed her to express her creativity and passion whilst getting the opportunity to travel the world and live and work internationally. Her career highlights span from shooting TV commercials for brands such as Colgate, to getting featured in magazine spreads for clients such as Harper's Bazaar, to modelling alongside industry legends such as Gigi Hadid. Her creative career has also evolved to include years of experience as a social media Influencer and Content Creator across multiple platforms, and she has recently also developed her skill set through studying acting, having already had the accomplishment of being featured in a short film.

Despite her success in modelling, Sarah also encountered obstacles at the start of her career surrounding not being the right size to not looking the Australian stereotype. Body positivity is an issue Sarah is highly aligned with, sharing joy in the new, more accepting industry changes towards acceptance of all shapes, sizes and looks. Alongside Sarah's passion for body positivity within the modelling industry, she also recognises and stands for this movement across social media, as the tool has such a powerful ability to connect people and inspire the future generation, but also can be the cause of self harm when utilized in a way that compares, that bullies and even puts one own self down. Being able to make a difference in the spaces of Body Positivity and Mental Health are passions Sarah would love to continue advocating for in her journey through the MUA program.

Zoe CREED

And last - but certainly not least - the one who has done one of Nat Roser's Series Mag shoots. What a perfect body !!!

At just 23 years of age, Zoe is more than just an all-Aussie girl with a love of sun sand and water, she is a creator. She has a love for her health and well-being and a creative mindset carved from her experiences as a model over the past eight years. Throughout that time, she has endured many challenges and obstacles that very easily could have deterred her. However, these experiences helped shape her into the woman she is today.

Last year, she launched her own online health platform, “Born Creed”. Zoe created Born Creed to empower people of all ages and stages of life. “The platform was created to help people build a strong foundational knowledge of fitness, but also deliver the results she knows people want!”

Zoe entered the Miss Universe Australia program to continue to challenge herself as a young woman and evolve. She believes MUA will enable her to build on these tools to become someone who holds space within the Health and wellness industry, who advocates for women’s hormonal health.

This journey for Zoe is to show not only for herself, but for others… “you don’t know what you don’t know….until you give it a go”. A born belief she wants to take with her everywhere for every experience.
