Bio

Kira is 28 and currently completing her Master’s in Sociology of Education at UCL, with plans to pursue a second Master’s and eventually a PhD in Educational Psychology. A passionate teacher working in alternative provision, she supports young people with a range of needs including autism, ADHD, and mental health challenges - work that is close to her heart as she is autistic and lives with borderline personality disorder.

A lifelong animal lover and former PDSA volunteer, Kira also speaks four languages: English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish. Standing proudly at 152 cm (5ft), she now embraces her petite height and is proud to represent petite women on stage. We’re thrilled to welcome her as Greater London finalist for 2025/26.

Beyond her business, Daniella actively supports dog shelters both in the UK and internationally through education, donations, and volunteering.

With over a decade of pageantry experience, Daniella has earned multiple titles, most recently being crowned Miss Intercontinental England 2024/2025.

Kithu, 25, holds a BSc in Biomedical Science and an MSc in Medical Microbiology, and works in a laboratory. She is also the founder of The SkinSphere (@the.skinsphere), an advanced skin and aesthetics business created from her passion for science, skincare, and confidence-building.

Born in Sri Lanka and raised in the UK after leaving due to war, Kithu’s journey has shaped her into someone who values resilience, diversity, and purpose. She is passionate about reminding women that self-care is not selfish, and that it’s never too late to invest in your wellbeing.

Outside of work, she enjoys dance classes, spending time with her three cats, and giving back - supporting initiatives that help underprivileged communities in Sri Lanka, particularly women and single mothers rebuilding their lives.

Kithu hopes to use her platform to inspire others to embrace their identity and feel proud of who they are.
