TingJia Lorigiano

I changed her height to 5'7.5 from 5'8 because she was 5'7.5 at Miss Chinese International 2008. I think she's cute and deserving of her Top 20 placement. She was Top 11(there was a tie in the top 10) at Miss Chinese International 2008 where she represented Montreal. She is Italian and Chinese and her Chinese side is from Shandong. She also got People's Choice at Miss Universe Canada 2009(which just means that her family and friends voted obsessively :p).

AGE:18 HEIGHT: 5'7.5" HOMETOWN: MONTREAL, QC
TingJia was born into the English and French community of Montreal as a Eurasian-Canadian, which has imparted her with a rich sense of customs and traditions. She is currently attending Vanier Cegep and will graduate in May 2009 with top honours from the Honours Health Science Program.
TingJia’s strong work ethic, persistence and devotion to her endeavours are evident in both her stellar academic career and dedicated volunteer work at retirement homes and elementary schools within her community. She has succeeded in planning and launching charity events and awareness campaigns, by bringing together different groups in the Montreal community.
In her spare time, TingJia loves to curl up with a good book, write stories and explore. She also enjoys playing the saxophone, learning about science, doing yoga and swimming.
