Miss Switzerland 2010

Cook, who stands 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) tall, competed as one of the 12 finalists in her country's national beauty pageant, Miss Switzerland, held in Zürich, where she obtained the Photogenic award[4] and the crown of Miss Schweiz, gaining the right to represent Switzerland in the 2011 Miss Universe pageant, broadcast live from São Paulo, Brazil on 12 September 2011.[5]

Prior to finals night, Cook discovered her grandmother in Cambridge had a cancer recurrence, and would have to undergo chemotherapy. Unable to travel to England, Cook dedicated her participation in Miss Switzerland to her.[6]
