This experience, combined with her continued involvement in her family’s grazing operation at Monto has provided Brianna with a passion for the agricultural industry. She aims to promoting the significant role of agricultural shows in providing economic stimulus to the state, bringing communities together, educating the public about agriculture and promoting the vibrant communities who host these unique events across rural and regional Queensland.

Brianna joined the Next Generation executive committee in 2014 participating in the state final of the 2010 Queensland Country Life Miss Showgirl Awards.  She remains involved with the Monto and District Show Society as the Miss Showgirl and Rural Ambassador coordinator and holds the position of secretary/treasurer for the Burnett Sub Chamber.

She believes the Next Generation committee serves an important role to encourage youth participation in the show movement to ensure the traditions of each local show are able to continue into the future.  The connections with people who share a similar vision, a passion for rural shows and the industries they champion, is a motivating factor for Brianna’s involvement with the Next Generation committee. She hopes to encourage more people to become involved and volunteer with their local show.

During her time as Beaudesert Miss Showgirl, Georgina took her sash around Europe which led to the creation of #tourdeshowgirl on social media. This allowed her to promote the Miss Showgirl competition in a new way whilst also exhibiting the South East Queensland shows during her year as the South East Queensland Miss Showgirl.

Now that she has finished her Miss Showgirl reign, Georgina recently took up sewing, but also enjoys photography, baking and team sports.

By taking part in Next Generation, Georgina hopes to use her journalistic skills to connect more people with the show movement while also encouraging more show committees to utilise their younger members’ technological skillsets.
