Miss Elite 2026 fourth runner-up Jera Brigitte of Belgium has revealed her plans for life after the competition, from returning to high school and pursuing nursing to representing Belgium and building lasting friendships, during an appearance on NileFM&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Big Drive&rdquo; with Zeinab and Sami.
Brigitte, who secured the fourth runner-up title at Miss Elite 2026, said her immediate priority will be returning to her studies in Belgium, where she is still in high school and preparing for a career in nursing.
&ldquo;When I go to Belgium, I&rsquo;m going to school again because I&rsquo;m still in high school,&rdquo; Brigitte said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m studying for nursing, so I hope to finish that well and see where it goes. But that&rsquo;s my main priority now, too.&rdquo;
Representing Belgium
Speaking about her experience of representing Belgium, Brigitte said she wanted to highlight more than the country&rsquo;s traditions and culture, with a particular focus on its diversity and warmth.
&ldquo;It was very important for me to not only represent the traditions of the culture of Belgium, but also the warmth and diversity,&rdquo; she said.
Describing Belgium as a small country that deserves greater recognition, Brigitte said she hoped her participation in Miss Elite would give audiences an opportunity to see another side of her home country.
Her Advice To Future Contestants
Reflecting on her time in the competition, Brigitte encouraged young women considering Miss Elite to remain authentic.
&ldquo;I would tell her to always be herself,&rdquo; she said.
She also spoke about the friendships she formed during the competition, saying the experience brought together women from different countries and allowed them to discover how much they had in common.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been such an amazing journey, especially in the 10 days, not only getting to know the other girls, but realising how much you have in common with other girls,&rdquo; she said.
For Brigitte, those connections became one of the most memorable parts of her Miss Elite experience.
&ldquo;I would say enjoy it and enjoy the friendships because they&rsquo;re gonna last a lifetime,&rdquo; she added.
