She sought help and guidance from Ashlea Talbot, who was the 2003 Miss Australia winner. She then studied basic Spanish before visiting Ecuador where she competed for the 2004 Miss Universe title.
The beauty contest was hosted in Quito, Ecuador on the 1st of June 2004. A week before the big event, she was placed as the sixth favourite contestant for the title. She was among the top ten contestants in the evening gown section of the competition. In the swimwear section, she was among the top five.
