About Model
Aloha! My name is Emilia Knudsen, and I am a 17-year-old international runway model, entrepreneur, and humanitarian from Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi. I began modeling internationally in 2022 and have walked in New York, Paris, London, Milan, and Asia. In 2026, I was honored to win Authentic Beauty 2026 and Top Young Model 2026 in Malaysia. My greatest passion is using my platform to make a difference. During COVID-19, I helped provide food and support to families on Kauaʻi. Today, I am raising funds to build a deep-water well for a rural community in Uganda, with plans to visit in 2027. I also own KauaiLeiGreeting.com, a 4Runner rental business, and create sea glass jewelry to support charitable causes. I want to compete in Pure Beauty 2026 because I believe true beauty comes from within and should serve a purpose beyond ourselves. Growing up with aloha taught me kindness, respect, generosity, and connection. Modeling gives me a platform; my purpose is what I choose to do with it.
