Daria Gapska

Daria Gapska was crowned Miss Northern Ireland 2022, the title that put her name on pageant radars across the UK. Born in 2000 in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, she grew up in the same countryside she now represents onstage. She is 25 or 26 years old, and her natural look, blonde hair, and blue eyes fit the classic pageant mold.

Before the sash and crown, Daria trained as a nurse, a profession she continues to pursue alongside her public appearances. Her slim, natural figure and Caucasian heritage are part of her public profile, which includes an Instagram following of 22k. She keeps her focus on both her pageant career and her healthcare work, balancing the two very different worlds.
