Having established a track record in mounting world-class beauty pageants over the last decade, Carousel Productions Inc. decided to reinvent and improve the concept of beauty competitions for the new millennium.

Because many people admire and aspire to be a beauty queen, Carousel Productions, Inc. believed beauty queens would be a good and effective advocate of worthy causes. To give life to this vision, Carousel Productions Inc. organized and launched in 2001 the MISS EARTH Beauty Pageant, a beauty event whose raison d'etre was to have its candidates and winners actively promote and get involved in the preservation of the environment and the protection of Mother Earth.

Apart from a strong emphasis on environmental protection programs, MISS EARTH also aims to showcase and promote various tourist destinations. Every year, 80 to 90 candidates from all over the world compete on beauty and knowledge of environmental issues.

The winner of MISS EARTH will serve as the Ambassador to environmental protection campaigns worldwide.

Now on it's 13th year, MISS EARTH continues to build its reputation as the most relevant and worthwhile beauty event in the world, setting a legacy of beauty and responsibility.

The MISS EARTH Logo:
Depicts a woman’s grace and form holding the earth upward in reverence. The Earth or globe represents the valuable gem stone in the center of a royal crown formed by the 4 rays eminating from the “globe” which forms the crown and symbolizes the 4 elements of the Earth - hence: Woman of the Earth.

BEAUTIES FOR A CAUSE:
The pageant is a search for the most beautiful women of the Earth to serve as a role model dedicated to uphold the advocacy to preserve and restore Mother Earth.

Describe your childhood growing years:

Having lots of fun in my neighborhood, with my big brother and my parents all together. I was very independent and mature for my age always. And had a lot of extra-curricular activities like folkloric dancing, samba and sports.

 What lessons did you learn from your childhood?

Being humble is key to success, it doesn’t matter how far I go, and I will always remember where I come from, my roots, family, education and country.

 Any special facts or story about your family?

I was born in a very small town called Los Taques at the Peninsula de Paraguana the state of Falcon in Venezuela. They have supported me all my life even when I moved out on my own to the city of Maracaibo to study Social Communication and when I was spotted by a Modeling agency and I continued my preparation in Milan, when I arrived back in Venezuela, my family was amazed by how I changed as a woman.

 What is the most unusual thing you have ever done?

Traveling without my parents’ permission, while being a minor.

When I was elected for representing my country in the 2013 Miss Earth pageant.

 I will be working for the recollection of trash in the Los Roques Island Chain, supporting the cause directed by a brilliant 12 year old kid, who began to work to keep the waters of these islands clean.
