Born and raised in Morden, Manitoba, Jada Budz is a proud Canadian with deep Ukrainian roots. Inspired by  both her great-grandparents’ journey from the Ukraine, she draws strength from her heritage and the close-knit community that shaped her. At 18, Jada purchased her first property—an early reflection of her ambition to shape her own future.

 

Today, Jada is the co-owner of two thriving businesses in downtown Morden: Town ‘N Country Grooming, a pet spa known for its lavish dog transformations and Nikki’s Beauty Bar Wellness Spa, a wellness spa that reflects her passion for beauty and self-care. With nearly a decade of grooming experience, Jada is known for her artistry and care—whether it’s practical farm dog relief cuts or breed-specific styling, she approaches each pet with patience, love and precision. Jada’s passion for animals extends into her volunteer work at the Pembina Valley Humane Society, where she  uses her grooming expertise to help shelter dogs look and feel their best in hopes of finding them loving forever homes. Jada and her husband—her high school sweetheart—share a happy life together with their three beloved dogs, the most recent of which was rescued from the humane society she currently volunteers at. 

 

Beyond Jada’s business ventures, she is deeply passionate about art, fashion, and modelling—creative outlets that have allowed her to express herself individually and make meaningful connections with others. Her past personal journey with anxiety and body image challenges led her to healing, resilience, and self-love, forming the foundation of the confidence she embodies today. What began as a creative outlet on Instagram soon evolved into a modeling platform, through which she currently collaborates with respected brands and inspires others to embrace authenticity, confidence, and creativity.

 

Jada’s love for travel and discovering new cultures continues to shape her perspective, enriching both her personal growth and artistic vision. As a Miss Universe Canada 2025 delegate, Jada is deeply honored to represent not only southern Manitoba but the heart of Canada. Guided by grace, gratitude, and unwavering hope for the future, she strives to build a life and career that makes a positive impact on the world around her.
