Since childhood, I’ve dreamed of representing my country on the international stage. Fashion and social service are two of my greatest passions, and Miss Europe Continental is the perfect opportunity to combine them. Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of walking on international runways and representing renowned brands. However, my heart lies in animal protection, and I want to use this platform to raise awareness for this important cause.

Mental balance is key for me. I prioritize my mental health through practices like meditation, which helps me stay calm and focused. Connecting with the ocean is another way I find peace and reconnect with myself. Visualization is also a big part of my preparation, helping me stay focused on my goals. These techniques allow me to stay grounded and ready to face any challenge that comes my way.
- Who inspires and supports you throughout your journey?
My family, especially my grandmother, mother, and father, have always been my foundation. Their unwavering support and the core values they instilled in me—like perseverance and self-confidence—have shaped my career. My husband has been a constant source of inspiration and strength, believing in me and encouraging me to pursue my dreams. I also owe a great deal to Junior Sánchez and Roberto Camacho, who have played pivotal roles in my growth, both professionally and personally.
- Who has helped you prepare for Miss Europe Continental?
I’m incredibly grateful for my amazing team, who has been instrumental in my preparation. Junior Sánchez has been essential as my makeup artist and stylist, helping me find my true essence and project it with confidence. Roberto Camacho has contributed to the overall production and my development, always inspiring me with his positivity and creativity.
I’ve also had the privilege of working with Jennyfer Garzón, who has been my photographer and posing coach, capturing the best versions of me. Pedro Salsero, who designs my dresses and swimsuits, has ensured that every outfit reflects my confidence and elegance. Alexis Ceballo, who oversees my band, has added a special touch to this journey. Lastly, Caryna Bolívar provided a space for me to practice, making a significant difference in my preparation.
With this incredible team behind me, I feel confident and prepared to take on the challenges ahead.
- How do you plan to use your visibility in the pageant?
I aim to inspire others, especially young women, to believe in their dreams and overcome the obstacles they may face. I’m also deeply committed to animal protection, and I hope to use this platform to raise awareness and create a positive impact. I believe it’s essential to take action on causes that matter, and Miss Europe Continental gives me the opportunity to do just that.
- What advice would you give to young women who dream of participating in a beauty pageant?
Never stop believing in yourself. Preparation with passion, discipline, and authenticity is key. Beauty pageants aren’t just about appearance; they’re about showcasing your essence, values, and how you can make a difference in the world. Remember that dreams come true with hard work, and every small step will bring you closer to your goal. Keep pushing forward—success is within reach.
