Naomi Cusinato

I’m Naomi Cusinato, 40 years old from Mill Park, Victoria. I am happily married to my loving and supportive Italian husband Egidio Cusinato and a mother of my one and only adorable 10-year-old daughter, Yvannah Schandley. I grew up in a loving family with God being the center. I join this quest because I am a proud Filipino who wants to be a part of Philippine Fiesta and help promote positive Filipino values of unity, friendship, strong family ties, debt of gratitude, communal efforts and camaraderie. I am motivated to join this quest because this is also my way of finding one’s personality, showing strengths and weaknesses, gaining self-confidence and proving to people that it is not impossible to have both beauty and brain with a heart that has a passion to help and share what I can to bring happiness to others without expecting anything in return.

I want to remember all those people who have helped where I am and now it is my turn to do the same. Also, through, this event I want to show how we can empower women with not only their physical beauty but most importantly their innate compassion to care and nurture. Our resiliency and our kindness are our strength.
