Coming to beauty pageants, I not only seek titles but also seek my mission - to spread cultural values, to inspire girls to dare to step out of their comfort zone to pursue their dreams. This journey has never been easy, but each challenge is an opportunity for me to become stronger, braver and more dedicated.

For me, beauty pageant is not just a crown, but also a responsibility - the responsibility to preserve and promote culture, creating good values for the community. I want to use my voice and influence to help children in the highlands have the opportunity to study, help ethnic minority women have a voice and bring the beauty of traditional Vietnamese costumes to the world.

I do not hesitate to continue participating in a beauty contest, because I always constantly renew myself to become better every day, true to my motto in life: "Being you but the best version".

I believe that when a woman dares to step beyond her own limits, she not only changes her life but also inspires those around her. Therefore, I came to Miss Universe Vietnam - Miss Cosmo Vietnam 2025, not only to challenge myself but also to continue writing the story of courage, perseverance and the values I pursue. I am ready, and I hope this journey will help me create even greater things!"
