Taking the reins of her destiny

Miss Universe 2018 - Catriona Gray

Catriona Gray took control of her journey to become the Philippines’ fourth Miss Universe. After failing to capture the world, Catriona immediately worked on the blueprint of her quest to conquer the universe.

She meticulously picked her team by looking at their expertise and how each of their strengths stitches into her vision. She worked independently, but with a group of dedicated individuals, who believed and supported her all the way to the crown.

It’s a natural thing for Catriona to plan and organize to achieve her goals. She admits to being a big dreamer with clear goals and a stubborn spirit to realize them.

“I’m very goal-oriented, and once I’ve set my mind on something, I put my heart and soul into it, and make sure I have all the tools to make it happen,” said Catriona.

“This is why I am thrilled to represent Smart Signature, which empowers everyone with the digital experience they need to achieve more and realize a much better version of themselves. With Smart Signature, we have one less thing to worry about while pursuing our goals and making a difference.”

A digital native and very well-versed in technology, Catriona makes extensive use of the Internet for research, and more importantly, as an effective way to get her voice out there as an advocate for educating the youth and raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.

She sees the digital realm as “a tool, platform, or a microphone to enhance your community and personal brand - or just get your voice out there.”
