From hard hats to high heels, Rachel Foley is fresh off a huge win in the Bahamas – bringing the Miss Galaxy International crown home to Ireland for the first time.
Rachel joins iRadio’s Groupchat to talk about the moment her name was called, why it still hasn’t fully sunk in, and how she’s using her new platform for more than just pageantry.
Working in construction as a health and safety officer, she opens up about proving herself in a male-dominated industry, building respect on site, and why she wants more young women to go for it.
They also unpack what people get wrong about pageants, the reality behind the scenes, body confidence, and the charity work that comes with the crown.
