1.- Stacey, tell me about the city where you were born and raised. ,What do you like about your hometown?
I was born and grew up in Houten. What I like about this place is that everyone knows each other in the village. But it’s getting bigger and bigger and you can see that. You can feel it because you recognise more and more people, but still we always say hello to each other.
2.- What are your hobbies? what makes you laugh a lot or gives you joy?
Children give me great pleasure and a smile on my face. So unbiased and so genuine, that gives me great pleasure. My hobby is handicrafts, I love to make presents myself and then give them to the people I love. For example, this year for Christmas, I made several Christmas fountains that you can put below.
3.-International Model, Miss Beauty of Utrecht 2025 Finalist – Make Up Artist. When did you decide to take your first steps as a model and beauty pageants? What feeling do you have achieving your dreams, your passions and being a recognized influencer woman today?
I was asked through Instagram if I wanted to participate in Miss Beauty Utrecht and I thought I would just try and do it. Today, I am very grateful to be able to participate in this process and grow as a person. I can already feel it, I have a lot more confidence in myself and I notice that I am also growing a lot in the private sphere.
When I was younger, I did a lot of modelling, but in high school, unfortunately, I didn’t have time for it anymore. So I gave it up, but I would love to take it up again.
4.- What do you think is the distinctive, unique stamp of Stacey in each activity carried out as a beauty queen and model?
Sincere and interesting are the 2 words that fit me. I am always interested in what people have to say and I would like to get to know everyone. That’s why meeting new people is one of my hobbies. Sincere, because I am always honest and sincere with the people around me. I think that’s what helps others the most.
5.- Whats is the main virtue that any woman must have to be an internacional model?
I think everyone has and should show love and sincerity in themselves. This is because you meet a lot of new people and I think everyone has a different story and if you share that story you can listen to it with sincerity, that’s where you gain a lot of knowledge.
6.- Are you aware of being an influential woman for thousands of girls who want to be models? How important is it to you to be an idol for many girls and teenagers?
I have noticed this, because young girls recognise me and send me messages. It is very important for me to show who I am and what I stand for. This is because many young girls face difficult moments in life and I have experienced this myself. That’s why I want to show that it doesn’t matter what you look like or what other young people say. You are who you are and you are beautiful just the way you are.
7.- What was your feeling the first time you modeled in front of a video camera? What did you feel the first time at a beauty pageant?
The first time I went in front of a camera I was very little, I was 7 years old. My mother remembers it very well because I told her then: ‘Now I feel like a princess’. And I still feel that way, I feel very grateful that someone takes the time to make a video or a photograph for me. I think I had that feeling then too, I just expressed it in a different way because I was so young.
The first time I am participating in a beauty contest is now in Miss Beauty of Utrecht. I feel very grateful to be able to go through this process and to have been chosen.
8.- What do you think about the power of social media today?
I find the power of social media very beautiful, on the one hand because it allows you to share things that can change people in a positive way. But on the other hand, it is also very scary because people behind a phone can sometimes write very negative messages and young people can feel very insecure because of that.
9.- How do you like to interact with your followers on social media? Whats your favorite social media?
I’m not a big fan of social media yet, but I try to be loving and respectful to my followers and I hope they notice it too. My favourite social media is Instagram because most of the people around me use it and it allows me to see what they’re up to.
10.- What would you advise young people who have talent but do not dare to take the next step? What would you advise parents who do not support their children’s talents?
I would advise young people to take the plunge, I found it very exciting myself, but I’m very glad I did it. I think it’s important to remember that you learn from your mistakes and you are allowed to make them. Dare and don’t think about what others might think, do it for yourself.
To parents, I advise you to support your children even if it doesn’t seem like a good idea. Let children make mistakes for themselves, because I think that is what they learn the most from.
11.- What important lessons have you learned from the world of fashion and beauty pageants?
Surely, then, one of the most important lessons is to remain myself, to show my true self and to treat everyone involved with respect and get to know them.
12.- Stacey, being a model for you has been easy? Were there obstacles?How did you overcome obstacles?
It was not easy for me to take this step. I had been bullied a lot in the past and I had never seen myself like this. There were definitely obstacles, but the biggest one was being afraid of what other people would think and how they would react. I overcame them with the support of the people around me, because I was sure that the people who love you will not think differently of you. I am very grateful to the lovely people around me who are always there to help me.
13.- Have you thought about being an actress? Do you like the entertainment industry?
I definitely thought about this, I used to take a lot of drama classes too. Back then my parents thought school was more important, which I fully understand and am also grateful for.
14.- Worldwide, women have acquired a greater role even though there are societies where they are still abused. What is your opinion of the role of women in the future in these societies?
I hope that all women in the world will start to be treated equally with men. I believe that women and men have the same rights and should not be treated unequally.
15.- Stacey, what is your motivation and what do you feel grateful for every day?
My motivation is to bring out the best in myself, every day. And I am grateful to the lovely people around me who support me in everything I do. And especially to my dear parents.
16.- Stacey, Do you like to travel? What countries do you know? What other countries would you like to know and which places do you recommend to visit from your country?
I definitely love travelling, I did it with my family since I was very young. I travelled a lot in Asia and I would recommend it to anyone, the love of the people and the beauty of the nature and the environment are unreal. Especially Malaysia, where I had the most beautiful memories. I would still like to travel in Africa.
In my own country, I recommend Maastricht, where people live in a loving and respectful way.
