Early life and background

At Miss Universe 2023 she finished as second runner-up, Australia’s strongest placement in the competition since 2010.

Before and alongside her pageant career, Wilson held a series of roles in sports, retail and hospitality. In May 2020 she began working as a sports coach at Caulfield Grammar School. Later that year she was appointed as a hospitality ambassador for Tennis Australia. She has also worked part time as a stylist and social media specialist and as a retail sales stylist. In 2023 she was selected as the face of beauty campaigns for the Australian department store Myer.

Wilson has highlighted fitness and sport in her public persona, and during her school years she received recognition for contributions to sports, arts and community activities. During the Miss Universe 2023 final, when asked which woman’s life she would like to experience for a year, she said she would choose her mother’s birth year, citing the strength and lessons she learned from her.
