A student of Law & Marketing Ambassador in the Samoan Tourism Authority, Latafale Auva’a was born and raised in New Zealand by her European mother and Samoan father. Latafale holds the ambition of a career in musical theatre or practicing family law. She is a skilled musician, playing a variety of instruments apart from being a competitive touch rugby player, winning gold and silver medals in the sport at the 2015 Pacific Games. Latafale also belongs to New Zealand National Youth Choir and is appointed as the musical director of her local church. We won’t be surprised if she grabs the top notch position at Sports and Talent Fastrack events at Miss World, this December. Regarding Miss World commitment and agenda, Latafale says: “I see Miss World as a platform, not only to showcase my nation but to empower the idea that beauty has a purpose. True beauty is in the humility of character and kindness of heart and Miss World provides an incredible opportunity to affirm the identity of young women on a global spectrum and also to creatively serve under privileged communities internationally. A job I would zealously undertake.”
