Empowerment to me, is uplifting people and supporting the other person's dreams and choices.

Up Close and Personal
Describe yourself in one word.
If I had to describe myself in one word, it would be thankful.
I'm thankful for everything and everyone in my life.
I'm also thankful to God and His blessings, for my health and everything in my life good or bad. Good because it reminds me to stay humble and bad things because it helps me grow as a human being every time.
Most significant accomplishments.
So far, I have competed in some of the most prestigious pageants like Miss Earth, International Miss, and Miss Southwest global United States. I'm lucky to be competing in Miss Global United States 2019.
I walked at the NYFW 2019, and I completed my Certifications in Politics and Global Economy and also Hotel Management. These are some of my achievements and my claim to fame as well.
Pageantry Involvement
Why did you choose Miss Global US system?
Miss Global is very close to me because it's all about diversity and women empowerment, and these are the two keywords I believe in. It's not just about physical beauty; it's more about inner beauty. Also, I love my director Roger and my national director Suzi — who both have been supportive and helpful throughout the process.
What's your platform or causes you've been supporting?
My platform is "Zero New Transmissions," it's a project me and my friends started to stop new transmissions for HIV in Houston, Texas. We have made videos and organized benefiting fashion shows and exhibitions.
Social Media and Influence
Do you think social media is a 'healthy' influencer platform?
Social media is a great tool to get closer and to reach out to people all over the world. I think as long as you are doing your part in spreading positivity through social media, learning to coexist and being tolerant of other people's opinions, it can be a great platform.
Who influenced you the most?
My ideal personality is DVF. She is the definition of women empowerment.
Your definition of empowerment?
Empowerment to me, is uplifting people and supporting the other person's dreams and choices. Help them get confidence and become each other's support.
