What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
My main interest is my career. I would like to finish school soon and acquire as much knowledge related to my career as possible so that I can help my country in the near future. I truly enjoy spending time with my family and friends, exercising and modeling.
Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
The person who has had the most influence on my life is my uncle. He has not only been my father figure, but he has also been my inspiration ever since I was a little girl. He shared with me all the values I needed to learn in order to become the person I am now.
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
My career ambition is to obtain all the knowledge I possibly can so I can help increase the education levels in my country. There are many institutions that already exist in Ecuador that work hard every day to make this happen. I want to help them by working not only with kids but with the elderly who didn't have a chance early in life to become well-educated. I believe education is the best way a country can strive and become developed.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
After my mother passed away when I was 1, my aunt and uncle took me in and gave me the best gift of all, an amazing family of 3 brothers and a sister who always made me feel like I belonged. They are my everyday inspirations because we are very close and always are willing to help one another. Even though I don't have many memories left of my mother, I know she was a great mother who wanted the best for me. I always feel her with me everywhere I go because she illuminates every step I take.
What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
My willingness to strive. I am a very responsible woman who knows that with sacrifice and effort you can achieve your goals.
