Kaitaia teen to represent NZ at Miss World
A Northland teen of Maori and Croation heritage will represent New Zealand at the Miss World beauty pageant in November.
Cody Yerkovich, 18, of Kaitaia, beat 15 other finalists to claim the Miss New Zealand title at Auckland's Sky City Convention Centre.
"I'm really happy...I feel quite privileged to be able to represent Northland and put it on the map," she told the Northern Advocate.
Ms Yerkovich left Kaitaia College last year and is planning to study for a business management degree.
