Miss Puerto Rico

Zuleyka Rivera

What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
I like to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy listening to music and playing many sports. In my free time I like to meditate and think about the things that I have done during the day and why I did it that way, what can I improve and how can I apply it.

Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
That would be Ismael Ríos, a person who I admire and love and consider my second father and my best friend. I met him six years ago and even though he doesn't carry my same blood he has given me the love, the understanding, encouragement and the advice that my parents would have given me. He has done a lot for me without expecting anything in return.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
My main career goal is being an actrees. I've been taking spelling courses and I'm planning to take acting lessons in order to prepare myself for that discipline.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was raised in Salinas, a small, beautiful town located in the southern coast of Puerto Rico. I had a beautiful childhood and I was surrounded by people whose beliefs and values were transmitted to me. I'm part of a really united family and have a home where love, confidence, respect, and honesty prevail.

What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
I'm a woman with clear and defined goals. Determination, courage and self-confidence are three of the qualities that distinguish me.
