Neda Derakhshan
Neda was born in Iran and moved to Canada when she was a teenager with her parents and three younger brothers. She received a business management degree and is now in the process of a becoming a financial advisor. She would like to open her own salon spa in the near future, using the tools she learned in school to be a successful entrepreneur. Neda lists one of her greatest accomplishments as coming to Canada as a 13 year old girl, not speaking a word of English and having no friends in the country. She quickly corrected both of these shortcomings, becoming rapidly fluent in English and making fast friends wherever she went. In 2009, Neda was the third-runner up in the Miss Universe Canada pageant. Beauty and brains all rolled into one!
Salome Khorasanchi
Originally born in Tehran, Iran but raised in Belgium, Salome Khorasanchi's modeling has taken everyone by surprise. It seemed as though Salome would never take advantage of her beautiful looks when she graduated and started work as a wedding planner. As well, Salome took part in her family's glass business which has been very successful in the Middle East. However, the modeling world came calling! She has now been a highly revered model for the last 15 years. This incredible model and entrepreneur is married to American soccer player Oguchi Onyewu and now goes by the name Salome Onyewu, but to her Persian fans she will always be Salome Khorasanchi!
