Emily Faulkner

I am Emily Faulkner, a Registered Nurse, model, and proud New Zealander passionate about inspiring and educating our youth. Through my career and involvement with Inspiring the Future, I have seen the importance of giving young people the knowledge, confidence, and opportunities to make decisions that are right for them. I hope to use this platform to continue empowering our youth, promote positive values, and represent New Zealand with authenticity, purpose, and compassion.

Stop the War and Violence

To me, “Stop the War and Violence” means teaching future generations that conflict does not have to be met with violence. I am passionate about educating our youth about empathy, respect, communication, and understanding differences. By giving young people the tools to manage conflict positively and encouraging them to value one another, we can help create a generation that chooses compassion and peace. I believe lasting change starts with educating and empowering our youth.

The 4Bs

To me, the 4Bs represent empowering young people to understand that success is not defined by one quality alone. Body is about respecting and caring for yourself. Beauty is about embracing individuality and confidence. Brain represents education, critical thinking, and having the knowledge to make informed decisions. Business represents independence, ambition, leadership, and understanding your value. These are values I want to help educate our youth about, so they can develop confidence in themselves and feel empowered to create a future that is right for them.
