Ms Tapp grew up in Cloncurry and has attended the Cloncurry and District Show throughout her life.
“I’m a born and bred local,” Ms Tapp said.
“My parents have always been heavily involved in the show so I thought this year I should step out of my comfort zone and get involved with the show and the community,” she said.
The opportunity to empower woman within the community was a strong pull in Ms Tapp’s decision to become an entrant this year.
“I wanted to be a part of something that helps empower young people and to help our community grow stronger.”
Ms Tapp hopes The Queensland Country Life Miss Showgirl competition will enable her to build confidence and self-esteem within the community and among this year’s entrants.
I want to be a good ambassador for the Cloncurry show because its a wonderful event.

“Stepping forward and taking the opportunity to do something different and help others isn't as scary as you may think,” she said.
“I want to be a good ambassador for the Cloncurry and District Show because it's a wonderful event and they need a good role model, not only for the event but for the people of Cloncurry too.”
On Saturday June 2, at the Cloncurry and District Race Club the four Showgirl entrants will be taking nominations for the Fashion of the Fields.
“It’s going to be a fun day with the announcement of the winner happening about 3.30pm and we’ll be handing out the prizes,” Ms Tapp said.
The girls will be kept busy every weekend leading up to the Cloncurry Show with events such as the Twilight Market and movie night to be held at Mary Kathleen Park 9 June starts 5.30pm
“We will be handing out the nominations and category pamphlets for the Show events,” she said.
Ms Tapp’s ambitions include traveling the world and experiencing new cultures. She enjoys studying and intends on committing to studying event management later this year. Currently Ms Tapp holds a Certificate II in Business and Hospitality.
Ms Tapp enjoys many different sports including water skiing, netball and swimming.
The fun and excitement of the Cloncurry and District Show commences on Friday June 15 until Sunday June 17. Last Tuesday, May 22, we highlighted fellow entrant Samantha Wood.
