She entered the pageant industry in 2016, competing to represent Mexico for Miss World. She placed first runner-up for Miss World 2017 and was crowned Miss World Americas 2017. Two years later, she was crowned Miss Mexicana Universal and had been preparing since for this year’s pageant.

Fun fact: Our very own Catriona Gray also placed at the top 5 for Miss World 2016 and eventually went to win the Miss Universe 2018 crown.

 

She’s 26 years old
