INTRODUCING ELIZABETH DONALD

Elizabeth's newest venture in Miss World Australia brings with it a new chapter to this budding young woman's life. Starting as a three year old Elizabeth has been dancing, singing and acting her way through her childhood and adolescent years. These years have prepared her and given her solid foundation to become a world class personality in her years to come.

Elizabeth was recently selected as one of the Victorian representatives for the National finals of Miss World Australia. At the Victorian finals she was presented with the "Communication award" which she was very happy to receive as she said ‘in this industry you need to be able to talk and communicate, obviously it's a fundamental necessity to get your thoughts across I am thrilled to receive this award'. She will now go on to the National Finals in April in Sydney Australia. Working hard supporting charities has been an incredible experience for Elizabeth as she hopes to continue on this journey for many years to come.

Elizabeth's thoughts on the Miss World motto "Beauty With A Purpose".

To me there is nothing more incredible than young women being active in the community in raising awareness for what they believe are issues in today's world. "Beauty With A Purpose" to me has so many meanings. Beauty from the inside first!!! Meaning soul and heart and passion the looks takes care of themselves after that. Then purpose means real passion about real situations even if you had 1 child 1 family to help and new way of thinking. My dream is to have an academy and exchange program for women based in Australia for women to experience other cultures and working conditions that gives them a different view on life. This program could be introduced into schools universities, corporations and Governments saying that we as adults have a responsibility to our future generations to promote no racism no matter what!! My other big motto is Manners and Respect. "Blend manners and respect with confidence and ambition together creates the perfect balance for yourself, your career and your lifestyle". "Beauty With A Purpose" should be an attitude born from around the kitchen table, meaning attitudes towards others, humanitarian causes, being kind to one another, cultural unity and making a difference all come from the home firstly so if future generations teach their children these things just watch how the world would alter for the better. The Miss World Motto to me is not just a motto it is something to wake up and live by each and every day.

Elizabeth is also a singer/songwriter having worked in Melbourne best studios cutting a demo she has written entirely herself. Music is an incredible medium for one to express thoughts, emotions, feelings. My writing is almost therapeutic for me, I just hope to one day share these tracks with everyone'.

In 2002 she won the best composed piece in Victoria for Theatre Studies VCE. The piece was written by Elizabeth for a contemporary take on the Shakespeare classic 'A Midsummer Nights Dream'.
Working with famed New York Choreographer Randolf Winston in her early years dancing gave her an insight into the US market and things to come, standing her in good stead to break open a new market.

Elizabeth has had television appearances singing on Chanel 31 and also appearing on Chanel 7. Elizabeth was fortunate enough to spend time with US film producer Bernie Williams when he was in Australia filming US Major Film 'Charlotte's Web' staring Dakota Fanning, Oprah Winfrey and Julia Roberts amongst others. Bernie gave Elizabeth some mentoring words of advice for the industry as well as Elizabeth having the opportunity to have a walk on role and extra role in the film.

Modeling for local Melbourne catalogues and brands has also given Elizabeth experience in the modeling field with her first runway experience at 6 years of age.
'I adore shoots… the different characters you can become the way you can alter the overall look with the smallest of eye changes its incredible'.

Elizabeth hails from Melbourne, Australia and was born on the 29th of January 1985. This is only the beginning of what will be a long career for Elizabeth. Thank you for taking the time to visit..... there will be much more to come.
