Sara is a 24-year-old woman, with many ambitions and dreams for the future.

As a child, she grew up in a small idyllic town, with her parents and three younger siblings.

Sara has a great love for animals, especially for her little puppy, Nova, whom she brings everywhere. She loves Denmark and its beautiful scenery, and you will often find her near a beach or in the woods, walking with her little dog Nova by her side.

Sara loves spending time with her family and she enjoys every minute of it.

Since her childhood, Sara has always loved to sing and perform. She comes from a very musical family, where both her uncle and aunt have their own bands with self-produced music. She also practices yoga, in order to create harmony and balance between body and mind.
Sara has chosen to join the charity organization "The National Association for Down Syndrome". It is an organization close to Sara’s heart, as she grew up with a little brother, with Down's Syndrome.

Sara is studying Human Resources. She will complete her education at Copenhagen Business School in the summer of 2021. Alongside her studies, she works as a disability assistant.

Sara has always enjoyed exploring the world, first by travelling with family and later, by herself. Experiencing the world and meeting different cultures, has provided Sara with a bigger understanding and respect for people’s diversity. Her respect for different cultures does not come from travelling alone. Her family is a broad mix of people from all over the world, some with roots in England, some in the United States and others are from Poland, Iran and even from India.

She has never felt happier since and that’s why her motto is to prioritize personal health, so the beauty can shine from within and out.

Michaela wants to promote the importance of self-development and having the right mindset. She sees meditation as a good method for a typical citizen to de-stress. Often, she feels the focus goes on the people with bad sicknesses, but she also wants to encourage everybody not to forget themselves. Michaela’s opinion is that it is easier to help another when you have helped yourself first. Therefore, she has chosen to work with an organization equipped in specific methods to cope, strengthen the mind and balance of the body.

She wants to work internationally and share as much of her creativity with the world. It would be amazing for her to become relatable and empower a lot of women.

Maria Victoria Olesen


Miss Universe Denmark 2019 Top 25 Finalist
Age: 20 years old
City/Region: Copenhagen S
Height: 178 cm
Occupation: Working at Mentor Danmark.
Interests: I love being creative and using my imagination. As a result of this I am always in the middle of a new project, and this could be anything from sewing the dress for my prom to making my own dinner table.
Motto/Inspiration: “According to the theory of evolution, the human race comes from a species of fish who once crawled unto the land and then slowly developed into what we are today. It took many years of hard work, but the story shows that our potential is infinite.”

Maria Victoria Olesen is a 20-year-old ambitious young woman. In 17 years of her life, she lived in a small village on the countryside, but currently she lives in Copenhagen. Even though she lives in the capital of Denmark, it is apparent that she can’t leave the nature of the countryside behind. Actually, she can often be found deeply fascinated by a tree or flower in the beautiful nature surrounding Copenhagen.

Maria is an incredibly creative person and has always possessed a big desire carry out new challenging ideas. If she desires a new dining table or dress for the prom, the likelihood of her ending in a large DIY project is paramount. The reason behind this is that she loves to challenge her competences to the fullest and always aspires to widen her horizon as well as her knowledge about the world, regardless of the knowledge being purely theoretical or concerning practical skills. As a result of this drive to learn, she is a proud self-proclaimed nerd.
She views this nerdy aspect of her personality as rather important, since it gives her a chance to make a difference in the lives of others. This is something she realised three years ago, when she started coaching children who had been experiencing difficulty keeping up with certain subjects at school. She is very enthusiastic about this specific project, due to the fact that it does not only help the children archive higher intellectual standards, but also helps the individual student obtain a stronger self-confidence.

When an individual overcomes something, which one has always perceived as being difficult or even impossible, one is touched by an overpowering feeling of victory. A feeling reminding the child, that he or she is in fact very capable of doing well. As a result of this view, she says that one of the best experiences in her life was when one the children recently called her and enthusiastically told her that he had achieved an A minus in mathematics, something which had made him very proud of himself, due to the fact that he had not thought this was possible when she started coaching him.
