She is also a spokesperson at ‘Reykjavík Maternity Support Committee’, an organization that works to support women and mothers in the low-income group, by funding their education and helping them achieve their dreams.

This beauty queen is no stranger to the world of pageantry as she previously represented ‘the land of fire and ice’, i.e., Iceland at Miss Supranational 2019, where she made it to the Top 25 finalists and won the Miss Supranational Supramodel of Europe 2019 award.

Iceland holds a strong track record as it holds 3 Miss World crowns; Hólmfríður Karlsdóttir was crowned Miss World 1985, Linda Pétursdóttir was crowned Miss World 1988 and Unnur Vilhjálmsdóttir was crowned Miss World 2005.
