My Story

I was born in Venezuela, where I developed a strong sense of ambition and determination from a young age. My journey led me to earn a degree in mechanical engineering, and it was through this discipline that I began to see how hard work and resilience could open doors.

This mindset eventually took me to the stage as Miss Universe Venezuela, an experience that deeply shaped my approach to life.

Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe

In 2016, I was crowned Miss Venezuela, also winning Miss Attitude and Miss Smile. I went on to reach the top 5 at Miss Universe 2017 after two years of intense preparation, refining skills in public speaking, runway modeling, makeup, and stage presence. Representing my country at Miss Universe was an unforgettable honor.

In 2016, I proudly graduated from a military university, where I held the unique distinction of being the sole female in my class. Since then, I've garnered valuable experience in coordinating commercial and industrial mechanical projects within and around the vibrant city of Toronto.

Philanthropy

I currently work as a mentor with Geeky Minds, helping kids through STEM projects and inspiring them to pursue careers in science and technology. I supported and promoted the Engagement Foundation, aiding food and fundraising efforts for those in need in Venezuela. My love for animals led me to collaborate with Proyecto Nala, an organization that opposes euthanasia and supports disabled pets. I’ve also volunteered with Fetch and Releash, fostering rescued dogs from around the world and helping them find second chances.
