Miss Australia

Jennifer Hawkins

Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
Megan Gale (fashion model/ambassador for Australian tourism to Europe). The typical girl next door, she personifies health and beauty. She has risen to stardom yet maintains her down-to-earth charm.

What is the most interesting or unique thing that has ever happened to you (aside from winning your title) and/or what is the most interesting thing about you?
The first time I caught a wave standing up on a board. It was such an exhilarating moment. It was like being accepted into the men's club as it is such a male-dominated sport and a fundamental way of life in Newcastle.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
Presently I am a model and a choreographer, but ultimately I would like to work my way into the television networks as a presenter. I would like to utilize my contacts and experience from the modeling industry to help leverage a position on television.

List any interesting or unsual jobs you may have had.
Participated in a student designer fashion show which incorporated outrageous clothing to generate a reaction from invited guests.

Describe your childhood home and living conditions. Were you raised with a large family with lots of brothers and sisters?
I am the youngest of four children whom I look up to and who have all influenced me, particularly my parents who have been happily married for 30 years.

What one word describes you best?
Vivacious.
