How would you describe yourself in three words?
Willing to smile

Do you have a special or unusual talent? (what is it?)
I sing, play the guitar and piano since I was little, but I think my talent also relies in that I can express my spirituality through music.

Where would you most like to visit in the world and why?
I would like to visit the pyramids of egypt to witness great architectural infrastructures made when no advanced technology ever existed. I find this an amazing mystery.

What is the best thing about your country?
My country has beautiful resources and magic landscapes, but I have to recognise the kindness and warmth of its people. I am proud to say that ecuadorians are very hospitable.

What is your favourite…..
Film: ‘The Schindlers List’
Music: Ballads and Tropical music
Singer/band: Celine Dion
Book: ‘Anatomy of Love’ by Helen Fisher

If you were granted one wish, what would it be?
I would like the cure to aids and cancer to be found.

If you were stuck on a desert island with one other person (famous or not) whom would you choose?
It would definitely be a love partner, because even in a dessert, I still would want to raise a family. I don’t care if he is famous or not, but he has to be cute, funny and intelligent.

What is your message to all the other miss world contestants?
I hope to know at least a little bit about each one of you. I am eager to know about other cultures and experiences. This is a great opportunity for us to make new friends! So count on me!

You’re judging the final five contestants, which question would you ask the finalists?
What does “success in life” mean to you?
