BACK STORY
Nag-aral ng kursong Communications Research si Charyzah sa University of the Philippines (UP) sa Diliman, Quezon City.
Ipinanganak siya sa Mandaluyong.
Dalawang taong gulang si Charyzah noong manirahan siya kasama ng kanyang pamilya sa Chicago sa Amerika.
Bumalik sila sa Pilipinas noong 17 years old na siya.
Kapwa Pilipino ang mga magulang ni Charyzah—taga-Cebu ang ina niya at taga-Masbate ang kanyang ama.
Nang tanungin kung paano siya nakasali sa beauty pageants, ibinahagi niya na aksidenteng nadiskubre siya sa isang mall.
“I was in a food court in Cebu and someone approached me and said you know, ‘Would you like to try pageantry?’
“I had some time [to think about it], and I really wanted to take that risk and develop my confidence and my pasarela so I said yes.
"And ever since then, modeling and pageantry have been a part of my life.”
Limang pageants na ang sinalihan ni Charyzah.
Kabilang dito ang pagkapanalo niya bilang Binibining Quezon City Karunungan 2020, at isa sa dalawang nanalong kandidata sa Head To Head Challenge ng Miss World Philippines 2022.
Kung mabibigyan ng tsansa, bukas si Charyzah na pasukin ang mundo ng showbiz.
“I would love to!” bulalas niya.
Natatawang pag-amin ng dalaga: “That’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I actually have been doing plays and acting workshops.
"So, if the opportunity arises, you know where to find me."
