Jelena Pejic - Miss Universe Canada 2010 Candidate
23
Name: Jelena Pejic
Age: 22
Height: 5'10"
Hometown: Kitchener, ON
Jelena Pejic is a 22 year old Communication studies student at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo. She aspires to work in the public relations field and hopefully own her own PR agency. Born in Sarajevo Bosnia, she had moved to Serbia at the age of 5 when the war started. In 1997 she came to Canada with her family.
The misfortune of moving and having to adapt to different situations and surroundings have made her a chameleon. Jelena believes that the most successful people are not the ones that posses most knowledge, but the ones that adapt best to different situations. This does not mean that a person should not be self defined. Jelena has participated in many pageants and had the fortune of winning a few titles.
In 2004 she was the official Miss Serbia and Montenegro which allowed her to compete in the 2004 Miss World pageant. She also competed in Miss Tourism Queen International 2005 that took place in China, and Miss Peace 2005 In Turkey; a title that she won and one that she was very proud of. She spent 2004-2007 traveling the world and having an opportunity to learn from, appreciate and embrace other cultures. With the title of Miss Serbia and Montenegro she participated in many fundraisers and charity events but the one she is most proud of is auctioning her crown and giving the money to the Children’s Village in Serbia. It helped improve the lives of children without parents and special needs.
Jelena sees herself as a strong, enduring, and caring person and believes that there is a bigger plan even at the toughest of times. She owes her family a great deal for encouraging her to be true to herself and supporting her on the journey to reach her dreams.
