Sanaz Belkoghli Ardebili - Miss Universe Canada 2010 Candidate
51
Name: Sanaz Belkoghli Ardebili
Age: 26
Height: 5'7"
Hometown: Coquitlan, BC
If you had to describe Sanaz in one word, it would be ‘driven’. Her personal life experiences have moulded her into the person she is today; the way she views, enjoys and contributes to life. She enjoyed the privilege of living in three different continents of the world. She was born in Iran, grew up in Belgium until age sixteen, and immigrated to Canada with her family right in time to take part in prom night. As a result, she is a well-rounded cultured individual and knows how to speak English, Dutch, French, and Farsi. She has learned to adapt herself quickly to different environments, individuals, and cultures.
Sanaz learned to play the piano at age six and continued with classical piano lessons until age 16. She enjoys traveling the world, and tropical destinations give her the enjoyment of inner peace and serenity.
Sanaz graduated in 2006 from Simon Fraser University with Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Criminology. During and after her academic career, she has been preparing herself to fulfill her dream of becoming a lawyer. She has explored different sections of Canada’s Criminal Justice System through her work and volunteer experience, as a way of prepping herself for a career in law. On one side of the spectrum, Sanaz volunteered to work with victims of crime, lawyers and courts, and on the other side of the spectrum, she worked directly with offenders in a maximum security youth custody center. These experiences really taught her the value of life, and showed her how blessed she truly is. Her father, mother and sister are her only family in Canada, and they have been her best support system.
In the past two years, Sanaz dived into the business world in the area of project management, public relations, as well as the financial industry. The reason she pursued a career in the business world is because she wanted to attain a high degree of professionalism; in addition, she always keeps herself challenged by educating herself on new subjects. She wanted to be an expert at quick solution providing and delivering within deadlines, skills that are critical in the legal profession. Sanaz hopes to use the Miss Universe Canada title to show all young women they can be successful leaders, and can achieve anything they set their mind to.
