Miss Philippines-Australia Contestant 2013
Cassie Dawson
Seeking Sponsorship
The 2013 Miss Philippines-Australia beauty pageant will be held this October in Sydney.
It is with honour that RFCA can introduce to you the beautiful Miss Cassandra Anne Dawson, more commonly known as Cassie Dawson, who will be one of the Miss Philippines-Australia contestants. Cassie demonstrates class, style and a happy, outgoing, bubbly and confident personality. Cassie is 19 years old and is representing the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). She works as a full time dental assistant. She loves pets and has two dogs. Describing one of her pets Cassie says: "My puppy is 8 months old and he is a white with tanned ears Jack Russell crossed with a Fox Terrier". Cassie is a good role model and inspiration to others as she has a healthy, positive and active outlook on life. She regularly goes to the gym for fitness and dancing classes. She loves all music. She says: "In fact I am very passionate about music." Cassie continues: "I love singing and playing guitar and I hope to own my own music production business in Canberra one day." |
Cassie lives on Canberra's north-side in the fast modern growing area of Gungahlin, just inside the ACT border with NSW. To reach the outer southern metropolitan area of Sydney, such as Campbelltown, is only approximately 2 hours by car on the national highway (Campbelltown has a very large population of Filipino Australians, including the largest statue of Jose Rizal outside of the Philippines which was visited by Philippine President Aquino after he visited Canberra in 2012). This northern part of Canberra is also one of the fastest growing metropolitan regions, business, shopping and entertainment hubs in Australia. It has a new full-sized indoor swimming pool in its advanced stage of construction. It also has excellent outdoor sporting facilities, government and business offices, and ever expanding retail space. This area was also the first in Australia to receive the super fast national broadband Internet service which will further enhance business opportunities, increase the demand for people wishing to live there and cause property values to rise further.
Besides enjoying life growing up on Canberra's northside, Cassie also loves to travel. She has spent time living in Indonesia and Hong Kong due to her father's occupation. This type of international story is familiar in many parts of Canberra considering there is a high proportion of diplomatic, other federal government department and international business company officials and staff who work in the nation's capital.
SPONSORS
Cassie is looking for sponsors. If you would like to sponsor Cassie you can contact her through this website and RFCA will pass on the information. Sponsorship will also mean that Cassie can help promote your business.
