#189 ISY BARISIC INTERVIEW: MISS GRAND AUSTRALIA FINALIST

I’ve been competing since I was eighteen. My first pageant was Miss Earth Australia.

Growing up I loved watching Miss Universe and aspired to be just like the incredible women who stood on the world stage one day.

Growing up I was incredibly shy and lacked self-confidence. I never believed I would be worthy or pretty enough to compete.

I was entered into pageants by sheer luck as I was attending an unrelated runway casting hosted by the Miss Earth Australia manager. Half-way through the casting she announced I was now a finalist for Miss Earth Australia. I was completely shocked, but incredibly excited.

After Miss Earth Australia I continued my pageant journey by competing in Miss Universe Australia, Miss World Australia, Miss Croatia Australia, Miss Galaxy Australia and now Miss Grand Australia.

I am incredibly grateful for how much pageants have helped me grow. They have provided me with confidence in public speaking, taught me valuable life lessons, provided incredible opportunities, networking, life -long best friends and, hopefully one day, the opportunity to represent our beautiful country on the world stage.

Pageants will always hold a place in my heart for they are more than competitions based on looks. They provide a platform, knowledge, development, opportunities and the ability to meet so many incredible like-minded people.
