I began modeling at a very young age, chasing dreams across runways and borders. Over the years, I earned international titles and recognitions, and—most importantly—I contributed to humanitarian efforts in places like India through the global campaign We for WE, raising awareness about the tragic impact of sex-selective abortions.
I began modeling at a very young age, chasing dreams across runways and borders. Over the years, I earned international titles and recognitions, and—most importantly—I contributed to humanitarian efforts in places like India through the global campaign We for WE, raising awareness about the tragic impact of sex-selective abortions. My journey has always intertwined beauty with purpose. That’s why, when I was chosen to participate in the pageant Una Corona por la Vida , I knew it was much more than a title—it was a calling.
Traveling to Madrid to step onto that stage came with a profound decision: to represent Venezuela, my birthplace and a global icon of beauty, or Malta, the island I’ve called home for the past 16 years. With heart and clear intention, I chose Malta. Although my choice surprised some, the answer was clear to me: Malta has embraced me with love, opportunity, and a deep sense of belonging. For me, this crown is a way to honor a nation that helped shape me—and to unite two worlds: Venezuela’s resilient spirit with Malta’s strength and serenity. It was never about choosing one over the other; it was about uniting cultures through the power of a shared purpose.
Una Corona por la Vida was born from the vision of the Bandera Internacional organization, under the leadership of Marilanda Sánchez. It emerged as a cultural response to a world marked by challenges and change. The crown, designed by the legendary George Wittels, carries the mission of serving as a cultural ambassador—a figure capable of uniting nations and showing that humanitarian issues know no borders. This crown is a symbol of strength and global sisterhood. At the heart of this mission lies a simple yet powerful truth: our diversity is not something to overcome—it is something to celebrate.
Every culture, every story, every identity adds richness to the human experience. While my life on stage has sharpened my voice, I know that what makes me a good communicator isn’t just my ability to speak—it’s the life I’ve lived, the cultures I’ve embraced, and the causes I’ve stood for. My journey has shaped my words with authenticity and meaning. And I’m just getting started. I look forward to continuing this path of growth, using my voice to inspire and connect. Through The Art of Being a Winner podcast, I aim to keep building bridges—uniting cultures, sharing stories, and reminding the world that winning is not about competing against others, but about rising together.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to expand my journey beyond the spotlight. This new path is opening doors to fresh creative challenges, including my role as a project manager with the inspiring team at Woman Star World. It’s a chance to blend my industry experience with purpose-driven work, supporting a platform that uplifts and empowers. I’m embracing this chapter with gratitude and a clear vision—growing, evolving, and staying true to what fuels my passion.
