How does it feel to emerge as the Youth Ambassador for Christ Holy Church International?
It feels incredibly humbling and exciting at the same time. I am grateful to God and to the leadership and youths of CHC International for trusting me with such a responsibility. It’s an honor I don’t take lightly.

What would you say sets you apart from others?
First of all, I would say it’s grace and destiny. I believe my consistency, sincerity of purpose, and heart for service set me apart. From the beginning, I never saw it as a competition. I also told some of my fellow contestants who chatted with me while we were preparing for the show that this is not a competition but a calling to represent, inspire, and uplift others while being a good example to the youth of CHC International.
What challenges did you face during the contest, and how did you overcome them?
Like any journey, there were moments of self-doubt, pressure, advice, and balancing responsibilities, especially at my academic level. I overcame them through prayer, discipline, encouragement from my parents, mentors, and lecturers, and by staying focused on my purpose rather than distractions.
