She attended Sefton High School for her secondary education. She comes from a multicultural heritage. Her mother Alka is Hindu-Indian and her father Ahmad is Muslim-Lebanese.
Houssami is a Liberal Studies student majoring in Psychology and English at the University of Sydney.
She represented Australia at Miss World 2006 and placed 3rd, taking the 2nd runner up position, as well as winning the title Miss World Asia Pacific. She also tied with Miss India World to make the semi-finals. Both of them had the same scores from the judges.
