Miss Wales

Amy Guy

Amy grew up in the small Welsh Village of Ruabon, Wrexham, and comes from a really ‘Horsey’ household, having her own pony from age 3. In the early years she competed in many shows and represented her country at the age of 12. Later that year she qualified and competed for The Horse of the Year show at Wembley Arena, where she was asked to teach Katy Hill from Blue Peter (National Television Show) how to ride. Amy was also a keen athlete and at 14 was competing in the Welsh National hurdling and 100M sprints, she was also on the North Wales netball squad and cross-country teams. She continued her horse riding success throughout her teen years and represented Wales and G.B. at International level for 5 consecutive years. Amy achieved top grades throughout her school years and gained a place in Nottingham University to study Architecture. She graduated this year with a 2:1 Hons Degree Barch Architecture and feels that so far her university years have been some of the best years of her life. Since graduating Amy has started her placement, which will hopefully help her to gain her Part 2, then it will be another 3 years to gain her professional status as an ‘Architect". This will allow her to form her own Architectural practice which will cater for both commercial and domestic designs. Her motto is "Perfect planning prevents pathetic performance!".
