Pageantry

Miss England

At the Miss England 2011, she represented Every Model magazine[5] and won the title. She is the second Miss England winner of non-English heritage. She gained considerable media attention for being a Welsh, Miss England winner.

During her time as Miss England she travelled to various countries promoting Miss England pageant. These countries included; France, Thailand, Mauritius, Mexico, Dubai, Gibraltar and Egypt. After her visit to Mauritius the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority then became the official sponsor of Miss England 2012.[3] Mounter raised over £5,000 for Beauty with a Purpose and Help the Heroes and listed green issues as being very important in her life.[7]

Mounter has also been the judge at several pageant shows including Miss Hampshire 2011[8] and Miss England Beach Beauty 2012.[9]

She came 4th runner up in the Top Model round, and top 20 in Beauty with a Purpose.[citation needed] Mounter also received the Continental Queen of Beauty title as Miss World Europe for the highest ranked contestant in the European region.[10]
