It&#x27;s how we give back to others, and it&#x27;s how we carry ourselves through life.&quot; </p><p>&quot;I believe that everyone has beauty in inside of them, and I believe it is our duty to share it with the world, and to give back, and to truly inspire others.&quot;</p><p>Montagne, 28, is a commercial model and professional host, and has also worked as a magazine writer. </p><p>Prior to her stint in Miss Globe, she finished first runner-up in Miss Eco International 2019.
