Quinn: One thing I've learned recently is that the more I fail, the more I learn, and the more I lean into fear, the more I accomplish.
Failure is something we are all scared of at times but, it is what makes us human as Oprah once said "Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness.”

QUINN TEECHMA MISS UNIVERSE CANADA FINALIST
Quinn's Miss Universe Canada finalist pageant shoot by @volumatic D Ballingall.
@sos_childrens_villages started in Canada in the 1960s. Canada may be a wealthy and industrialized nation, however, there are an estimated 45,000 children who are considered orphans due to parental neglect, abuse, or the complete absence of parental care. This is where supporting SOS Children’s Villages has become so important to Quinn. Quinn has set her mind to gathering that support with this event she’s organized.
Quinn's Miss Universe Canada finalist pageant shoot by @volumatic D Ballingall. I'm Here With is proud to share about this extraordinary woman I want to introduce you to. She has been on an incredible journey working to help orphaned children from Calgary and then hopefully taking her message of hope for these children worldwide as she vies to represent Canada as Miss Universe. When I first met Quinn Teechma I was amazed at her entrepreneurial skills. But what I did not know is the emotional connection that we both would share. When I found out that Quinn’s was working to help orphaned, abandoned, and adopted children, I was stunned. You see, I was one of those adopted children and I wanted to share what Quinn was doing with you and many others. So, meet Quinn Teechma. An ‘under 30s’ professional with her own photography business, who is passionate about helping others.
@quinnteechma - When a child loses everything, SOS Children's Villages is there to give them a family and a home. They try to provide them with all the things a normal family would do: food, clothing, education, medical care but most of all, hope. In every Children’s Village, groups of orphaned or abandoned children are cared for in family homes by an SOS mother. And that’s what I want to be, even though I am not a mother. I believe every child needs to belong to a family, and grow up with love, respect, and security to live happy healthy lives. I know this firsthand. And so, if I can help others achieve that, I will be ‘the happiest’. And I hope as @missuniversecanada and Miss Universe. @quinnteechma. Thank you very much for supporting this story about Quinn Teechma, our friend, a community volunteer, and maybe Miss Canada or Miss Universe later this year.

Q AND A WITH
QUINN TEECHMA
BY MISS UNIVERSE CANADA
What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
I enjoy good conversation and growing my knowledge by connecting with interesting people. You never know what lesson someone can teach you or what impact you could have on someone else.
Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
I am so blessed with not just one, but two wonderful sisters. Next to my parents have had the most influence on my life. I have watched and learned from their mistakes before mine, I have leaned on them for love and understanding. They have been and will always be there for me no matter what.
What is your proudest personal accomplishment (other than participating in this pageant)?
My proudest personal accomplishment so far is that my photography business made over six figures in the first six months of operations, during the first year of Covid in 2020.
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or planning to do to accomplish that goal?
My ambition is to grow both of my businesses and be a self-made millionaire before the age of 30. I am not afraid to hire a good team to help expand my business at an exponential rate. Success does not have to be a lonely road.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I grew up on a remote island just off the coast of Vancouver Island called Lasqueti. I did not have a traditional childhood. We lived off the grid with no luxuries, including power or plumbing. We lived off the land and grew almost all our own food.
What do you hope to be doing in ten years?
I hope to be utilizing my financial makeup and had a radical change in our society. Far too many are suffering from starvation and poverty. I believe this is a broken system that is fixable. The world’s richest 1% have more than twice as much wealth as 6.9 Billion people. The reality is fixing global poverty and starvation is possible. It’s just not being fixed by the people who have the means.
