Sabrina Houssami (born July 3, 1986) is a former Miss World Australia, as well as the perpetual Miss World Asia Pacific and second 2nd runner up to Miss World 2006. She gained the national title although she did not officially win the national competition. The Miss World Australia organisation cancelled the pageant for that year, due to the Miss World pageant being preponed by 3 months, and gave Sabrina the title directly as she was the previous year's runner up.
Sabrina was born in the city of Sydney. She initially lived in the Sydney suburb of Kemps Creek, and eventually moved to the riverside suburb of Georges Hall. She attended Sefton High School for her secondary education. She comes from a multicultural heritage. Her mother Alka is Hindu-Indian and her father Ahmad is Muslim-Lebanese. She has a younger sister named Abbey.
Sabrina is a Liberal Studies student majoring in Psychology and English at the University of Sydney. Her personal motto is “He, who wishes to secure the good of others, has already secured his own”. She is also a member of Mensa, with an IQ estimated to be in the mid-140s.
She represented Australia at Miss World 2006 and placed 3rd, taking the 2nd runner up position, as well as winning the title Miss World Asia Pacific. Sabrina Houssami made history as the first Miss World Asia Pacific to make the top 3. She also tied with Miss India World to make the semi-finals. Both of them had the same scores from the judges.
Sabrina's main objective during her reign was to work actively with charities all over the world. To date, Sabrina has helped to raise over $5 million for charities both in Australia and internationally. She was also the ambassador of the 2007 Formula 1 ING Australian Grand Prix, as well as the ambassador of Ferrari's 60th anniversary celebration. Sabrina handed over the Miss World Australia crown on April 4th 2007.
