Alyssa Cutler is a 19 years old Newfoundland-born young lady currently attending Memorial University. Alyssa is pursuing an iBA (international Bachelor of Arts) and will later proceed to study Education, in keeping with her dream of becoming a high school teacher.
Alyssa is a highly motivated young woman who is inspired by the people around her. In her own words “Being in a group setting with people who have big dreams, lots of energy, ambition, and fighting for worthy causes can be quite powerful.” One such motivating influences in her life is her mother, who taught her “that we have the power to do good, impact the community, and change lives. I live by that every day.”
Miss Alyssa began doing pageants 4 years ago. She was crowned Miss Teenage Avalon in 2017, later going on to become Miss St. John’s World in November 2018. As Miss St. John’s World, Alyssa has raised over $11, 000 for Children’s Wish Foundation and officially granted a wish to a local child. She has always been full of gratitude to all those who supported her charitable cause.
This July, she will be competing in Miss World Canada, representing all of Newfoundland and Labrador. Speaking of what it would mean to her, if she won Miss World Canada, Miss Alyssa said “Winning Miss World Canada would mean representing Canada at the Miss World pageant, the second most prestigious pageant in the world. If I were to win the title, I would continue getting involved with my community and working [with] the organizations such as the Jennifer A Cutler Foundation and Children’s Wish Foundation.”
“However, there are two things I would do if I were to receive this title. The first thing would be having a blood donation day across Canada and get all the delegates to come out and support the event and encourage others. Everywhere in Canada, we are short on blood and this is a way people can give without having to donate money. The second thing is how each delegate is to raise funds for the Miss World Canada official charity, Children’s Wish Foundation. Although this can be a healthy competition to see who can raise the most, what I would love even more is each province to come together and raise enough money to grant a wish.” She added.
Speaking on makes her stand out from among the other Miss World Canada 2019 hopefuls, Alyssa had this to say:
“I stand out over an average contestant by my Beauty with a Purpose project. This is a portion of the competition where each delegate must advocate for a cause and create a change within the community. My Beauty with a Purpose project is the Jennifer A Cutler Foundation. I founded this charity 3 years ago in honour of my mom, who passed away from cancer in 2016.”
“The main goal of Jennifer A Cutler Foundation is to give an all inclusive trip to Walt Disney World to a family with the mother or father actively receiving cancer treatments. As of July 219, the family that will be receiving this year’s trip will be announced. You can find more information on jacfoundation.ca.”
Speaking on future plans, Alyssa hopes to go into the education sector, continue working with her charity, the Jennifer A. Cutler Foundation and continue volunteering with different communities and organizations.
Ever the motivated and motivational beauty queen, Miss Alyssa has these words to say to young girls in the Province and around the world “I would like to tell every young girl that it is okay to cry, to fail, to have setbacks. Life isn’t fair sometimes, but every obstacle is only there because you are strong enough to get through it. Grow from your mistakes and treat them like learning opportunities.”
We at the Muse wish Miss Alyssa Cutler all the best, as she represents NL in Ontario for Miss World Canada, 2019.
