“The crown on my head wouldn’t have been possible without your constant encouragement. I believe, I won more than the crown, I won your trust and faith in my vision. I have been competing in beauty competitions since the age of 15, I have seen more failures than success but my heart was right and I believed in my dream,”  she has said after winning the crown.

“So last night was all about hard work that the last 5 years asked of me. Today, if some can relate to my story, three cheers to you. Thank you to all the girls for giving me the honor to share the stage with you”, she added.

She will now represent Belgium at Miss Grand International 2021 to be held in Phuket, Thailand on 4th December 2021.  Belgium did not participate in the 2019 and 2020 editions of the pageant.
