Meagan Green Miss Northern Ireland 2013
Meagan travelled to Indonesia for the Miss World finals
Meagan Green has plans to be a media star when she hands back the Miss Northern Ireland crown. The 24-year-old is mulling over two job offers which could keep her in the limelight.
But with the launch of the 2014 competition next week she’s keeping mum about her future until the important job of finding her successor is over.
The business management student says it’s all thanks to her title that a whole new career has opened up.
Before she first entered the competition in 2012, when she finished as a runner up, the farmer’s daughter was a shy student who was self conscious about her braces.
“I always had my hand in front of my mouth when I smiled. I was really shy and I’d never really travelled anywhere on my own,” says Meagan.
“I’m a different person now. When I came back from Miss World in Indonesia last year and saw my parents at the airport I thought I’m not the same girl I was.”
She has the option of deferring the final year of her degree and believes it would be crazy to turn down a job offer.
“I was always focussed on doing business management but since winning Miss Northern Ireland I’ve done so much media and I realised I loved doing radio and TV, in front or behind the camera.
“Now I’ve got a couple of options which are nothing to do with business, maybe presenting in TV or radio. I was approached by quite a lot of people when I was at Miss World as well, and I’m just excited that a couple more doors have opened for me.”
Heats for the Miss Northern Ireland contest start on Thursday February 27 at 21 Social, Belfast and continue until Sunday April 27.
