Rumy Al-Qahtani tells herself who she is

I was born in Saudi Arabia in 1995. I am 28 years old. I studied dentistry at university. I currently work as a dentist, but I can also describe myself as an influencer and blogger. I also own a party planning company. My mother Fawziah Ayed is an actress, and my sisters Ghaida, Razan, and Atheer are social media influencers.

I also have the titles of Miss Saudi Arabia and Miss Arab Peace. I became the first woman to represent my country on an international platform with the Miss Asia 2024 beauty contest held in Malaysia.

The first elimination was in Cairo. After I was crowned there, the committee nominated me and I was officially invited. I was excited and happy to be the first person from Saudi Arabia to participate in the international beauty pageant. My biggest supporter in the competition was my family and my close circle. They encouraged me.
