Thankful for an unforgetable year and for every single person that joined me along for the ride. Its been an honour to represent my beloved Cook Islands. The nation I so fiercely love and call my home!
Lastnight I had the honour of handing over the baton and witnessing this incredible legacy turn a new chapter as we crowned our Miss Cook Islands 2019 Tajiya Sahay.
Before I took the stage, for one last time, an intense wave of emotions hit me like a ton of bricks. It was unexpected and uncontrollable. Happiness, pride and immense gratitude washed over me, and what I felt, brought me to tears. I am eternally thankful to everyone who helped me along this journey in whatever way they could. Last night, I carried you all in my heart and I will continue to do so. Thank you my beloved Cook Islands for always believing in me.
