BIO:
Given the current situation with global warming, I am a huge advocate of clean energy. It is clear that the world has an addiction to fossil fuels and it's our generation calling to fix this situation. My hope is that we can use research and development to continue improving alternate methods of energy. We need to focus on solar energy as well as making electric cars efficient and affordable for everyday people. If I win Miss Earth , this will be a top priority of mine, I want to be remembered more for what I do to help the Earth than my beauty.

Describe your childhood when you were growing up from 8 to 13 years old.

My native land is South Gobi. This is located in the southern area of my Mongolia. During my childhood, I was focused on education . From an early age, I have been fascinated by all of the different cultures of the world. I studied many different languages including Japanese, Korean and English. Most of the time was spent with family and helping around the house. When I was 13, I was offered a scholarship to study in South Korea. This was an amazing opportunity for me and I took full advantage of my scholarship. I was able to master the Korean language and fell in love with Korean culture.

What lessons did you learn from your childhood/growing years?

I liked mathematics and natural science very much. I also liked history, physical culture, natural science, geography, folk tales, literature and music.

Life Lesson: My mother and I are very close and she taught me many valuable lessons growing up. My mother founded an organization called Mother Earth Health International. This organization was developed to bring proper medical care to the people of Mongolia. Growing up in Mongolia, I saw all of the negative effects that alcohol and smoking have on family and people. I wanted to make a difference so I came up with an idea to help people quit smoking and drinking. My mother was able to import many anti-drinking and anti-smoking drugs into Mongolia that helped change many lives. I find true happiness in knowing that I was able to help people focus on that and on what matters in life and family.

What is your most memorable moment?

When I was 19 years old, I took part in the contest "Model of the World" in Tanzania , Africa. I met the President and the First Lady and they were very special people. I was awarded as Miss Kilimanjaro Mountain and I told the African people that when I return to Mongolia, I would build a Library in their honor. I was able to keep my promise and when I returned to Mongolia with the help of the Mongolian government, I was able to build a library for the people of Kilimanjaro. In the future, my goal is to have this library become the one of the best libraries in the world.

What is your environmental advocacy?

To protect the world land, to prevent water, to protect the environment from pollution, to increase the connection of human beings and nature, to grow plants as much as possible . I also want to create a program that promotes the use of clean and green energy.
