Miss Peru

Claudia Ortiz de Zevallos

List any special training you have had (music, art, drama, dance, etc.)
I've been a classic ballet dancer since I was six years old and graduated from the Royal Dance Academy. In 2001, I was the winner of the II National Canvas Contest at the First Regional Classification of Landdscape.

Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
During my fifth year of high school, I was lucky enough to have as a professor Miss Ontaneda who played an important role in the decisions I made in life later on, helping me to leave the comfort of being with my family to look for my goals and who I thank now for the purpose, discipline and perseverance that are useful in any challenge that I face in my life.

What is your proudest personal accomplishment (other than representing your country in this pageant)?
When finishing my studies in Areguipa, I decided to study fashion design so I applied to a scholarship that I won out of hundreds of young people nationwide. When I won it, it let me live in Lima and continue with my studies without generating expenses to my family.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
5{ hard full-time to be a successful fashion designer so I may say that I would not have ever missed this golden opportunity to be in real contact with the fashion world. There could not be a better school to learn from real masters of glamour.

Are you currently employed?
Yes.

If yes, what is your occupation?
I work as an assistant at an atelier run by a successful fashion designer.

Please list educational/technical/professional schools you have attended and the type of certificate or degree awarded.
Anglo American Prescott School Instruction at the Royal Academy of Dance Seminars on color and texture on canvas at the Arts National School PreColombian colors and texture design at the Catolic University Currently I am studying at the Professional Fashion Design Institute

What do you hope to be doing in 10 years?
I hope to be managing my own atelier with a name in the fashion world and to have my own family to whom I will commit myself the same way my parents did.
