Supported & promoted by her sponsors BOPA, (the British Organisation of people of Asian origin) based in Coventry, Sharandeep managed to receive almost 25,000 votes on the Miss England App! Having reached the top 10 in the first ever On The Spot Public vote for stand out contestants in the month of August, Sharandeep will now bypass the Miss England semi-final & is heading straight to the final.
Standing at 160 cm, Sharandeep has become a notable example of how young people can make a meaningful difference in society.
Her passion for helping others reflects a deep commitment to social responsibility and community engagement. Sharandeep graduated with a 2:1 Law LLB Honours degree and said . “My passion for intellectual property law was recently ignited at the Midlands Economic Summit. I was honoured to be invited by Ninder Johal DL, and the event provided an invaluable opportunity to connect with future clients and professionals. The experience solidified my ambition to pursue a career at the Bar, and I am looking forward to connecting with more barrister on mini-pupillages to gain hands-on experience before continuing my studies. Alongside my studies, I have been working with Solicitor Sabrina Sandhu from Maya and Co Solicitors to deal with immigration matters. It’s been incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited for a positive result for a client with a complex asylum appeal, whose claim is based on their political beliefs. My passion for advocacy and justice grows with every case and charity cause I join, and I’m eager to bring this real-world experience to my studies and, eventually, my career as a barrister”
On winning the Miss Coventry title Sharandeep was invited to attend a finalists photoshoot at the Grand Station to receive her official tiara and sash from Charlotte Grant . Sharandeep said “I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to be crowned Miss Coventry and to have the opportunity to represent our city in the Miss England Finals in November. I’m incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support from my community. Winning the public vote with nearly 25,000 votes is just incredible and a testament to the belief you all have in me. A special thank you to my sponsors, BOPA, and to Dr. Rakesh Sachdev and Davinder Prasad. They not only invited me to this amazing competition but have given me unwavering support in raising awareness for unpaid young carers through my project, ‘Caring for Carers.’
