ERIKA Federis (25), who is currently working as a Paralegal at Veitch Penny Solicitors in Crediton, will be competing against numerous other contestants for the title of Miss Inspiration South West at the Broadclyst Victory Hall on October 29.

Erika will take part in a number of competitions, featuring charity, fashionwear, popularity and eveningwear.

As an advocate for charitable causes, Erika has been involved in numerous fundraising events over the years, and proudly supports her father in his self-founded charity organisation, SADICOPO.

Established in 2011, the organisation aims to help underprivileged children in the Philippines gain better opportunities by providing scholarships to youth in need.

Erika has always dreamt of becoming a positive influence to the youth of tomorrow, and believes that the title of Miss Inspiration South West will help her achieve this life-long dream.
