Gizzelle believes in empowering women as she describes the feeling as igniting a fire that can never be extinguished. “Building a woman from the core up so that there is no room left for things such as doubt”, stated the beauty queen. The diva has created her own charity that handles many causes, from collecting clothes and food for the less fortunate, doing workshops to educate & teach young people to recycle and re-use products through crafts, volunteer work for animal shelters/ conservation programs or just spreading some encouragement on social media. She has worked in several commercials, short films and music videos as well as with many local and international designers and photographers.

The beauty queen performed exceptionally well at the competition and managed to impress everyone at the competition. She is extremely thankful to everyone who supported her and motivated her throughout the competition.
