Hayley, this photoshoot is just one of many
sides of your life, what else fills yours
days?
Well that depends…how much time do you
have?! I’m the sort of person that needs to
keep busy and I cling to my motivations like
a religion. My full time work is about telling
stories. I work for TPD Media as a producer
and we create all sorts of video content
from television shows like Queensland
Weekender, to corporate sales videos,
television commercials, live event highlights
and graphic animations. If it’s video, we do
it! So within that job I get a great range of
diversity that keeps me busy. Sometimes I
travel for work too. Outside of work I also
present the National Lotto broadcasts on
Channel Seven and pick up some modelling,
MC and presenting gigs too.
And you’re also the first ever Miss World
Queensland?
Yes! I earned that title last year and I love it.
I just recently got married so I’m kind of a
‘Miss’ and a ‘Mrs’ now!
So what does Miss World Queensland do?
Well there’s actually a lot more too this
title than winning a beauty pageant and
wearing a sash and tiara. And that’s why
I entered; I was really motivated by the
criteria we get judged on to be the best
version of myself inside and out. It’s very
fulfilling to me. You need to demonstrate
that you are fit and healthy, showcase a
talent (mine is videography/producing) and
use communication skills in a variety of
ways from answering an unknown question
on stage, to public speaking, presenting on
camera, interviews, social media and writing.
Most importantly, in Miss World (the
largest and longest running beauty pageant
internationally) you need to demonstrate
Beauty with a Purpose. This involves
fundraising and generating awareness for
charity.
