Paniz Yousefzadeh - Miss Universe Canada 2010 Candidate
46
Name: Paniz Yousefzadeh
Age: 19
Height: 5'8"
Hometown: North Vancouver, BC
The size of the Universe tends to depress many people and make them feel insignificant; however, for Paniz, there is an important place to fill and she believes that every piece of humankind plays a vital role in fitting itself into the great jigsaw puzzle. Being born in Tehran, Iran and living there for the first hemisphere of her life, differed tremendously from the life she now leads in Canada. Moving to the beautiful city of Vancouver, presented boundless opportunities and exposed a different view on women; considering them as equals and allowing them to become influential figures in society. The sense of freedom assured Paniz that no dream of hers would be out of reach and; therefore, she strives to achieve her goals and seeks to turn her dreams into reality.
In her early childhood, Paniz expressed a great passion for the Arts. She was specifically drawn to fashion design and the glamour of the entertainment industry. For her birthdays, she would only and always ask for art supplies varying from blank canvases to crayons and paintbrushes. At age seven, she actually convinced her parents to permit her to turn her room into her greatest art project. After only a few weeks, all four walls were covered in drawings without a single blank space. Her passion for the Arts evolved over the years and resulted in her involvement in minor local plays, fashion shows, and Art exhibitions.
Besides her interests in that area, she considers education to be paramount. She is currently in her second year at Simon Fraser University pursuing a double major in Communications and Political Science. From these two subjects, she hopes to take with her a great amount of knowledge and apply it to her everyday life. A career ambition of hers is to become an entertainment lawyer in a major city like New York and perhaps run her own clothing line alongside. She is also a part-time waitress at Cactus Club Café and has been part of the team for nearly four years. When not in school or working, Paniz spends time with friends and family. One of her favourite pastimes is trying different foods and going out to hidden restaurants and lounges in the city.
Like any other young woman, Paniz possesses certain corks and attributes that set her apart from others. Some of these include her weakness for cheesecake, her inability to resist funky stilettos and her fascination with house music. She identifies the genre as a healing device and will not hesitate to dance and groove to the sound of it. Being as young as she is, Paniz has been fortunate enough to have already visited France, Spain, England, and Mexico, along with parts of Canada, USA, and the Middle-East. She hopes to continue her travels around the world and get familiarized with different foods and cultures. Paniz believes that she can meet endless possibilities by maintaining a healthy balance of the mind, body, and soul.
