Bohm told Breakfast that all the judges were aware she that she wasnot a citizen, and she does not think she will have to give up hercrown at this point. Bohm has been a permanent resident in New Zealand for four yearsand is expected to gain citizenship in March, which is four monthsafter the pageant. She now hopes her application for citizenship can be fast-tracked. "I have heard of past situations where people are not citizens andthey have represented New Zealand overseas, more sport based thingslike rugby or the Olympics, and I have heard they people havefast-tracked citizenship for them so I am staying positive and I amsure that it can be done for me as well because at the end of day Iam trying to represent New Zealand not for my own benefits." Bohm said she considers herself to be a Kiwi. "My teenage years were in New Zealand so I'm more New Zealandcultured than South African cultured. However, South Africa is mybirth country. "I plan to make my future in New Zealand and will never move backto South Africa." She said contact has been made with the Miss Universe organisers tosee what they have to say about the situation. She said she does not regret entering the competition and is awareof one other contender in the competition who is not a New Zealandcitizen. Miss Universe NZ admitted that it is odd that people can competewhen they are not eligible to win. The region Bohm represented, Howick, had to pay $3000 for her entryin the competition. Bohm recently graduated with a fashion degree. She works as a brandambassador and is a part-time model. Her interests include fashiondesign, sports, and reading. Her ambition is to become a qualifiedchartered accountant. Bohm was crowned by Wellington's Priyani Puketapu who took out thetitle last year.
