Fun fact

She was studying education at the University of British Columbia before winning a beauty-talent contest at a Burnaby shopping mall led directly to a TVB contract in Hong Kong.

The verdict

Born in Maple Ridge and raised in Vancouver through secondary school and two years at UBC before Hong Kong's TVB signed her — the whole childhood happened here first. Born, raised, five points.
