Born in 2003 and 1.7m tall, Nguyen Thi Cam Ly - a Miss Vietnam contestant from Dak Lak - is studying at the Vietnam Aviation Academy and also works as a freelance photo model.

"What makes me passionate about freelance modeling is the opportunity to express my personality. The biggest challenge is the fierce competition as the number of people working in the profession is increasing. To overcome this, I always maintain a professional working spirit, constantly learn and confidently affirm my own style," Cam Ly shared with VietNamNet.

The Dak Lak girl always keeps her mother's teachings. "My mother taught me to live a kind and compassionate life. This teaching reminds me that no matter what the circumstances, kindness not only helps spread love but also creates the power to change the lives of others," she confided.

Demonstrating this spirit, Cam Ly has participated in aneducational support program for children in rural areas, helping them have access to quality education, especially children in difficult circumstances.

When asked about the social issue she wants to change, Cam Ly chose gender equality. "Gender equality is not only a basic human right but also the foundation for sustainable development and social progress. If crowned, I will organize media campaigns to change social awareness about the role of women, affirming that capacity is not limited by gender," she expressed.

Cam Ly is also concerned about the challenges facing women in the digital age. She believes that gender stereotypes still exist, especially in the technology and business industries. "We should promote successful female role models to spread motivation and help women confidently enter the digital age," she emphasized.

In addition to her time for work and competitions, Cam Ly regularly swims and goes to the gym to stay healthy. She also plans to improve her vocal skills and ability to play musical instruments in the future.

"I may not be the most beautiful or talented girl, but I am sure that I am someone who always wants to learn, develop and become a more perfect version in the future," Cam Ly shared about her journey of self-development.
