#256 Tahlia Edmonds: Miss Grand Australia National Finalist

from Confessions of a Pageant King · host The Pageant Project

Tahlia Edmonds is an 18-year-old gymnast, dancer, landscaper and inspiring advocate hailing from Country Victoria. Raised on a farm, Tahlia cherishes the simplicity and hard work of rural life. She wakes up early each day to milk goats and work on her farm, embodying the spirit of a true country girl.From a young age, Tahlia was drawn to the joy of movement and expression, dreaming of becoming a ballerina or a gymnast. Despite the hardships she faced in the aftermath of the Black Saturday Bushfires in 2009, which took everything from her family except the clothes they were wearing, her passion for dance and gymnastics never wavered​.The trauma of the disaster, the deadliest bushfire in her neighborhood, left a lasting impact on Tahlia and her family. The Edmonds' family home was reduced to ashes, their community devastated and the process of rebuilding their lives continues to this day​. Yet Tahlia has always strived to keep her spirits high, using her experiences to empathise with others who have been through similar ordeals​.Despite the financial constraints brought about by the fires, Tahlia kept her dream alive, seizing every opportunity to practice her handstands and dance movements​. Her dedication paid off when, at 13, she was gifted a term of rhythmic gymnastics for her birthday. This sparked a journey that led her to state competitions and further exploration of acrobatics and ballet​.Today, Tahlia balances her time between working as a landscaper and gymnastics coach, assisting in outdoor education, and contributing to her family's business. She aspires to use her platform, such as her participation in Miss Grand Australia, to advocate for individuals who have experienced the trauma of natural disasters. Driven by her past, Tahlia seeks to change the future for others, giving a voice to the broken and extending a helping hand to those who are suffering.Follow Tahlia:⬇️⬇️⬇️https://www.instagram.com/miss_aus_tahlia/---⠀⠀Be more than just a queen.

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
