From a young age, Ryanne knew she wanted to pursue a career in healthcare, and she continues to follow that path with purpose and heart.

Her genuine kindness and natural ability to connect with others have earned her the title of “Miss Congeniality” at both the Miss Tecumseh pageant last summer and the Miss Windsor/Miss LaSalle pageant earlier this year. These honors are a true reflection of her warm spirit, inclusive nature, and unwavering dedication to uplifting those around her. Being named Miss Congeniality goes beyond a title—it speaks to Ryanne’s ability to make everyone feel seen, valued, and supported, leaving a lasting impression wherever she goes.

She is especially passionate about supporting initiatives like Wounded Warriors Canada, an organization that offers vital programs to improve the mental well-being of service members and first responders. They offer a huge range of services to assist in the recovery and transition of those who protect our country. Their mission aligns perfectly with Ryanne’s desire to make a meaningful impact.

Her love for connecting with people and embracing new experiences makes her a genuine and uplifting presence at any event. With a proactive mindset and a sincere care for others, Ryanne brings strength, warmth, and dedication to every opportunity—and she is more than ready to proudly represent her community on stage.
