Twenty-one year old Kelowna woman, Shanelle Connell is a Provincial Finalist in Miss World Canada.
The pageant is the preliminary to Miss World, the oldest and and most prestigious pageant in the world, and will be held in Vancouver this March.
Shanelle is currently a busy woman not only preparing for the competition, but studying Psychology full time at UBCO, working in a research lab, and volunteering at OK Clinical.
