PentictonB次元官网网址檚 Brandi Hansen is taking another crack at being a Maxim cover girl in the magazineB次元官网网址檚 , but her messaging and overall goal will remain the same.
Hansen, a volunteer search and rescue technician with B.C. Search and Rescue Association, previously participated in the Canadian version of the contest, garnering thousands of votes for her online profile and . Exactly like her approach last time, for this new contest, Hansen is choosing to submit only photos that show her completely clothed and doing some of the various outdoor activities she enjoys.
B次元官网网址淢y message remains the same, that you can attain and achieve your goals without following the crowd. So I expect to see myself up against women in bathing suits and professionally-taken photos and IB次元官网网址檓 still in the same camouflage and fishing photos and pilot photos,B次元官网网址� said Hansen with a laugh.

Hansen added that she believes itB次元官网网址檚 important to love your body and be comfortable in your skin, but you donB次元官网网址檛 have to market that part of yourself to be successful in life.
She noted that, again, like the last contest, she seems to be the only applicant taking this approach and using the contest to support a good cause. Hansen credits her previous success to the outpouring of support she received from strangers online who had heard about her story and why she entered the contest but said this time both the audience and competition will be different so she is not sure what will happen.
B次元官网网址淭his one is different because it has international models and Instagram models applying, so I donB次元官网网址檛 know if IB次元官网网址檒l get the same sort of response that I received in the Canadian contest,B次元官网网址� said Hansen, who admitted while she is a little intimidated, she isnB次元官网网址檛 shying away from competing. B次元官网网址淏ut, I donB次元官网网址檛 think many people knew about the Canadian contest, but now with the American one, itB次元官网网址檚 going to be much bigger. And people can still vote from Canada since itB次元官网网址檚 international.

B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 really have anything to lose, so if I get kicked out of the contest right away then thatB次元官网网址檚 okay but, itB次元官网网址檚 a shame. I think itB次元官网网址檚 an important message to get out there.B次元官网网址�
Another difference between Hansen and her competition is what she plans to do with the winnings if she is voted the next Maxim covergirl, with her pledging half of the U.S. $25,000 to the and and the other half to an aviation scholarship for women. The charitable organization provides resources and supports to veterans and first responders in both countries.
B次元官网网址淚 will name the (scholarship) fund The Higher, Further Faster Aviation Scholarship and it will be available to U.S. and Canadian applicants,B次元官网网址� wrote Hansen in her contest profile. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 meant to inspire more women into the aviation industry. The scholarship will be available to pilots who have already obtained the Professional Pilots Licence (PPL) and are applying for the Commercial Pilots Licence (CPL).B次元官网网址�

Currently a student pilot working towards a career as a flight instructor, Hansen said she also wants to explore the possibility of joining the U.S./Canadian Air Force or RCMP as a pilot for her future career.
B次元官网网址淚 have military on both sides of my family, so IB次元官网网址檓 very patriotic. I think itB次元官网网址檚 important for our vets and these people that fight for our country overseas, and they come back and sometimes they have catastrophic injuries or things like that B次元官网网址� and the government only gives so much to our soldiers,B次元官网网址� said Hansen. B次元官网网址淪o the Canadian organization will get half (of USD 12,500) and the U.S. organization will get the other half - I want to give to both countries since IB次元官网网址檓 a dual-citizen.B次元官网网址�
