Rochelle Kirsten Canlas

Rochelle Kirsten Canlas, 19 year old, criminology university studuent. Seeking in fulfilling her goal of becoming a police officer, beauty queen and hoping to start in the Filipino TV industry.

Despite being born & raised in Canada, I have always felt a strong connection to my Filipino heritage, which is reflected in the way I embrace and celebrate Philippine culture through traditional practices, language, and cuisine. This connection has not only enriched my personal identity as a Filipino women but has also allowed me to share the beauty and richness of Filipino traditions with those around me, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for cultural diversity.

Rochelle said we must be true to ourselves by learning to love & learn everything we have, and most importantly, building confidence for ourselves and for everyone else because not all of us have enough confidence to take a chance, to step out and seize an opportunity, and to walk like a queen in front of everyone.
