Early life

Career
Miss Earth 2013 competition

She was awarded the title after the original winner couldn't compete due to schedule complications.[3] Zisser was to represent New Zealand in the Miss Earth 2013 final on 7 December in the Philippines.[4] However, she was diagnosed with food poisoning a week before the final and withdrew from the competition.[5] Zisser continued to be involved in environmental programmes in New Zealand over her reigning year.[6][7]
