Dance classes, culture classes, pasarelas, theater classes (drama), poetry, piano classes, gym machines, aerobics, and tennis.
Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My grandmother. She is a living testimony of God. She has a great heart. She always taught us that we can paint our lives the colors we wish because we are the architects of our own destinies and that problems come to teach us to be stronger, mature and grown up. If problems did not exist, we would not have the chances to realize the wonderful moments that life gives us every day.
What is your proudest personal accomplishment (other than representing your country in this pageant)?
That I have finished my studies and become a professional, and in a short time I will finish my Master's degree, which fills my heart with joy and enthusiasm to continue working. On the other hand, I wrote a book. I hope to publish it in order to help poor children because all the profits will be for them. Also, I have been named "Ambassador of the Peace, Culture and Environment" in my country of Bolivia.
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I studied economics. Presently I am doing a Master's degree program in finance. After that, I want to get my Master's degree or doctorate in Environmental Economics. I don't like the bad public administration that exists in our country. That's why in a time not long from now I would like to work for my country, because I really believe in the moral and intellectual capacity of women.
Please list educational/technical/professional schools you have attended and the type of certificate or degree awarded.
UPSA , Bachelor's in Economic Sciences
What do you hope to be doing in 10 years?
I see myself as a successful professional with an excellent record, working for my country and the people who need me the most. And, of course, on the personal level, I expect to form a solid and beautiful home with a good husband, my soulmate, and with children.
