Mugford, 18, a singer and an ice hockey enthusiast, won as Miss Multinational Asia, Best in Talent, and Best in Sports.

Miss USA Daniela Nieto was crowned Miss Multinational 2018. She was crowned by last year’s winner Sophia Senoron of the Philippines.

Nieto, 23, was also named Miss Multinational America, Top Model, and Best in Ramp Walk.

First runner-up honors went to Miss Algeria Nihed Markria, 2nd runner-up to Miss Mexico Tania Mauricio, and Miss Venezuela rounded up the top five.

After the international competition, Mugford said that she will go back to school and might pursue her singing career.

“I’ve always been someone who prioritizes my education. Right now, I am in school. On top of my singing career, pageant career, and school, I’ve always tried to find a balance. So after this competition, it will be school and my singing career,” she said.
