MIKAYLA Toplis has never modelled before but she’s been selected as a finalist for one of Australia’s biggest pageants.

The 29-year-old Robina mother-of-one, who works as a hairstylist, had been doing hair for Australia Galaxy contestants for years.

Although she comes with no experience, she decided to take a chance and entered the competition in the Ms Galaxy Australia National category.

“I had a phone interview and then I received an email saying ‘Congratulations, you’re now a national finalist’,” she said.

Ms Toplis will spend the next two months leading up to the competition fundraising for Make-A-Wish Foundation to earn extra points.

To earn the title, she will need to walk on stage in swimwear, fashionwear and be interviewed.

“I’m so nervous but excited at the same time,” she said.

The four ladies who win will represent Australia at the annual Galaxy International Pageant which will be held in Chicago Illinois USA.
