MEGA COAST MUM’S A REAL-LIFE SUPERHERO

KARLI McGunigle isn’t trying to be Wonder Woman but she is to everyone who knows her.

The Upper Coomera 23year-old has two children, runs her own make-up artistry business and works as a night filler at Coles.

She is also fundraising to get herself to the Dominican Republic to compete in the Mrs MegaVerse world finals later this month.

Mrs McGunigle will go up against women from across the globe in the reality TV show, which blends elements from Next Top Model, Survivor and The Apprentice.

“I am so blessed and excited to be representing this huge title (Mrs MegaVerse Australia),” she said.

“And to continue doing what I love most, and with that, empowering others around me.

“I still have a long way to go to reach my target (amount to get to Punta Cana) and that all depends on getting sponsors and help from my amazing friends and family.”

She said it was a struggle to juggle family, work and her pageant commitments but she hoped it would all pay off and could be a stepping stone towards bigger opportunities such as Mrs Universe.

“Mrs MegaVerse brings together a group of extraordinary women from all around the world who are on top of their game,” Mrs McGunigle said. “They dream big, are go getters, independent, resourceful and high achievers.”

And she believes that perfectly describes her too.
