ADELAIDE’S Olivia Rogers is ready to conquer the universe.

The 25-year-old speech pathologist leaves for Las Vegas on Saturday where she will represent Australia at the 2017 Miss Universe international beauty pageant, 13 years after Jennifer Hawkins secured the crown and became a household name.

“I’m very nervous but looking forward to seeing what it’s like and how it all unfolds,” said Ms Rogers, who is one of the favourites according to TattsBet. “I’m excited to see what comes from this.”

Ms Rogers will have 13 family members in the audience for the November 26 final, with two weeks of rehearsals and events still to come.

“I’m just packing for everything, I’m taking 60kg of luggage ... all Australian labels. I want to show the world what Australia has to offer,” she said.
