Ibu dr. Novita Sari Yahya: an Inspiring Indonesian Woman
Introduction
What drives someone to fight for a better life? Amid the chaos of a world filled with challenges, there exists an extraordinary woman who not only dares to confront obstacles but is also committed to changing the lives of others. She is Dr. Novita Sari Yahya, a general practitioner and researcher, currently serving as the National Director of Indonesia in a beauty pageant. What motivates her to step onto this glamorous stage? Let us delve into the inspiring story behind her persona.
Background
Dr. Novita, affectionately known as Novita, was born 51 years ago as the daughter of a family that highly values education and humanity. But how can one change their destiny and that of others without a strong foundation? Her great-grandfather, Jahja Datoek Kajo, was a member of Volkrads known in Koto Gadang, Agam Regency, West Sumatra, and her grandfather, Dr. Sagaf Yahya, was the first resident in Jambi and a pioneer of independence there. Is this not enough inspiration to ignite her fighting spirit?
Career Beginnings and Involvement in Pageantry
Why did the world of pageantry become part of her life? Novita first encountered this world during her college years. In 1995, she participated as a finalist in Putri Ayu Indonesia representing West Sumatra, where she proudly secured the position of Runner-Up 2 in the Putri Kartini pageant. This experience awakened invaluable self-confidence, leading her to continue her journey with unwavering determination. However, when her daughter ventured into modeling, what compelled Novita to create a space for Indonesian women to shine? In 2023, she boldly stepped forward as the National Director of Indonesia, dedicated to elevating the achievements of Indonesian contestants on the international stage.
Remarkable Achievements on the International Stage
Who could doubt Novita's success? One of her most proud accomplishments came when she accompanied Mrs. Juliana Yu, who achieved Runner-Up 1 at Mrs. Gaia World 2023 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Is that not an extraordinary achievement? Collaborating with Puri Indonesia under the leadership of CEO Rini Irawan exemplifies her commitment. But this is just the beginning! Mrs. Natalya F. Vong earned the title of Global Petite Ambassador at Mrs. Petite Global, and Miss Adinda Puri secured Runner-Up 1 at Miss Elite Global in Goa, India. Is this not clear evidence of how Novita bridges Indonesian talent to shine?
