Mrs. International® was developed to have higher standards than other pageant systems. The focus behind Mrs. International® is to showcase women 21 to 56 years old and married. Each contestant has the opportunity to select a platform of her choice that she spends the year promoting. Husbands are a direct part of the show, escorting their wives in the Evening Gown competition, and the husband crowns his wife titleholder.
Kelly’s platform is childhood obesity. As a member of the Canadian Obesity Network, Kelly is an advocate for the education and prevention of childhood obesity.
