From Western Sydney to the national stage of Australia Galaxy Pageants, Taylor Koopmans represents the new generation of young leaders redefining what it means to shine. Born at Westmead Private Hospital in New South Wales and shaped by the strong community values of Western Sydney before relocating to Queensland, Taylor carries with her a rare blend of warmth, resilience and ambition that instantly sets her apart.
Creativity flows through everything she does. Whether immersed in drama, art or hands-on creative projects, or pushing her limits at the gym, Taylor lives by a philosophy of balance between emotional, physical and mental wellbeing. Her journey into pageantry began at just six years old, when a dance teacher introduced her to the world of competitions — and from that moment, her path was clear.
Today, as a National Finalist for Australia Galaxy Pageants 2026, Taylor reflects with pride on the confidence, strength and personal growth she has built along the way. Pageantry, for her, is far more than titles and sashes; it is a powerful platform for service, leadership and meaningful impact within her community.
What truly defines Taylor is her unwavering resilience and determination. She shows up with heart, purpose and compassion, committed to creating positive change and uplifting others through her voice and actions. Guided by kindness as her core virtue, Taylor believes the greatest victory is not standing on a podium, but standing for others.
As an emerging role model for thousands of young girls across Australia and beyond, Taylor Koopmans embodies hope, courage and the promise of a brighter future — one built with authenticity, service and unstoppable belief in oneself.

1.- Taylor, tell me about the city where you were born and raised. ,What do you like about your hometown?
I was born in Westmead Private Hospital in New South Wales and spent my early childhood growing up in Western Sydney before moving to Queensland at the age of ten. What I loved most about Western Sydney was the strong sense of community—people genuinely looked out for one another, and that feeling of connection really shaped who I am today.
2.- What are your hobbies? what makes you laugh a lot or gives you joy?
I love drama, art and anything that allows me to be creative and make things with my hands. I also really enjoy going to the gym, as it’s been amazing for both my physical and mental health. Being creative, staying active and spending time doing what I love brings me so much joy.
3.- Australia Galaxy Pageants Miss Teen Finalist for 2026. 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 grew up as a dancer, and when I was six years old one of my dance teachers introduced me to pageants. I fell in love with them straight away. Looking back now, I feel incredibly proud of how far I’ve come—especially in building my confidence and personal growth. I’m also deeply grateful for the opportunities pageantry has given me, particularly the chance to give back to my community and help others through the doors it has opened.
4.- What do you think is the distinctive, unique stamp of Taylor in each activity carried out as a beauty queen and model?
I believe my unique stamp is my resilience and determination. No matter the challenge, I show up with purpose, heart and drive. I always aim to be authentic, to lead with compassion, and to use my platform to create positive change rather than just focus on titles or appearances.
5.- Whats is the main virtue that any woman must have to be an internacional model?
Kindness. Being able to put others before a crown or title is so important. Winning is an incredible feeling, but the greatest win is being there for others and making a positive impact.
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?
It’s extremely important to me to be a positive role model. I want young girls to know that they can achieve their goals and that confidence is built, not given. I strive to be the best version of myself so I can truly lead by example.

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?
I felt nervous, but also incredibly excited. I was surrounded by friends and supported by my parents, which made it such a positive experience. The moment I stepped onto the stage, I felt a sense of confidence I had been searching for—it was empowering and unforgettable.
8.- What do you think about the power of social media today?
I am the founder of the Talk Louder Project, a mental health platform on Instagram that provides a safe space for young people to share stories, tips and support. I think this is a perfect example of how powerful social media can be when it’s used responsibly and with the right intentions—it has the ability to create real connection and positive change.
9.- How do you like to interact with your followers on social media? Whats your favorite social media?
Instagram is my favourite platform because it allows me to share photos and videos that reflect both my work in the community and my everyday life. I enjoy being real, approachable and authentic so my followers can truly connect with who I am.
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?
To young people, I would say: absolutely go for it. Take that step, take the risk, and show the world who you are. Be yourself and follow your dreams. I am incredibly grateful for my parents’ support—my stepdad has even joined me on stage, and my mum has competed in a pageant alongside me. To parents, my advice is to get involved and experience it firsthand. Understanding your child’s passion can make all the difference.
11.- What important lessons have you learned from the world of fashion and beauty pageants?
I’ve learned that while the crown is amazing, it’s not the ultimate reward. The true wins are the friendships you build, the confidence you gain, and the personal growth that stays with you long after the competition ends.
12.- Taylor, being a model for you has been easy? Were there obstacles?How did you overcome obstacles?
My journey hasn’t always been easy. One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is my mental health and anxiety. I sought support through therapy and continue to advocate strongly for it. Pushing through my anxiety and continuing to do what I love has helped me grow stronger and more confident.

13.- Have you thought about becoming an actress?. Do you like the entertainment industry?
I have thought about it and have previously been involved in school productions. While I enjoy the entertainment industry, pageantry is where my heart truly lies at the moment.
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?
It’s heartbreaking that there are still places where women are not treated as equals. Violence and discrimination against women are never acceptable, and I’m very vocal about this. I believe real change begins with educating and empowering the youngest generations, and I will continue to advocate for women’s rights.
15.- Taylor, what is your motivation and what do you feel grateful for every day?
My biggest motivation is personal growth—becoming better than I was yesterday. I’m grateful every day for the opportunities I’ve been given and the people who support me along the way.
16.- Taylor, 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 love to travel. I visited America when I was younger and hope to return soon. I would also love to visit Scotland, as it’s the birthplace of my grandmother and great-grandfather. Australia is incredibly beautiful, and I always recommend Queensland—especially our stunning beaches.
