After return back home to the Hawkesbury after living near Dubbo for some years, Katherine Mann is ready to entrench herself in the local community.
Miss Mann, 23, is a Laboratory Technician at a company which makes agricultural animal vaccines in Glenorie and studied a Bachelor of Natural Science majoring in agriculture and submajored in animal science at WSU.
After moving back to Maraylya from Terramungamine near Dubbo in the Central West, Miss Mann saw the Showgirl competition as a great opportunity to give back to her community.
“The showgirl competition provides young women with a fabulous opportunity to become involved in the local show committee and combine their interest of agriculture and rural issues with a desire to become more involved in the local community,” she said.
“After competing in the 2015 Dubbo Showgirl competition I was able to meet some amazing like-minded young women with whom I have formed incredible friendships, and also enabled me to expand on a number of personal and professional skills.
“Since moving back to the Hawkesbury, I decided it would be a great opportunity to get involved and meet some new people within the community.”
Miss Mann said that if she were to win the competition she would use the platform to better represent the Hawkesbury.
“I am lucky enough to have experienced both living in the Hawkesbury as well as rural Australia, which has truly opened my eyes to the endless possibilities that can be found around the area.
“I have also seen many showgirl winners from different areas and zones go on to achieve great things and become involved in ways that you could not imagine.”
