Many people, in effect, look at beauty competitions as something clearly superficial, but what I love about organizations in general is that they are first work platforms for those who integrate the directive and staff of the organization, and beyondBeing a platform that generates income is that Miss Ecuador is an agent of change, therefore it contributes in society through its social project.So it is much more than being a pretty face or a toned body, it is a social aid, so very much that we are going through a difficult time such as COVID-19, there are misses that have contributed with kits and different aidAnd that is what you should weigh when analyzing a beauty pageant.

Precisely in the interviews that I have had in Miss Universe, that they asked me this, it is that it impacts every time they say something (negative comments), because it is not that I am a machine, I am not a robot, it does impact the issue of criticismMore than anything because you never expect a woman to attack another, when we all seek the same thing that is to convey love and how powerful we can be, and you never imagine receiving criticism from another woman.But what I knew to do is handle it in the most mature way I could face, thus absorb positive criticism and discard negatives.Thus I show me how capable I am, so people can see it and unintentionally, people began to notice and more comments are people supporting me.

Beauty contests seek empowered women and with stories of overcoming in their participants, what motivates a lawyer and medical student, as if applicable, to register in one of them?

My project is clearly focused on social health, with the support of the organization and with the Eye Clinic that is the family business, which has four venues, two in Guayaquil, one in Portoviejo and another in Santo Domingo.And the social project is a window to life that is an early blindness prevention campaign caused by glaucoma.

Are there already beneficiaries of the campaign or is it still in project?

Of course, in fact as Quevedo was the city that saw me crown like Miss Ecuador, I asked my family that we propose the first ophthalmological brigade in that city.It is really very exciting to know that when I was a candidate and they ask each one to their social project, the annual goal I mentioned was 400 patients and I have the satisfaction that only in a brigade we assume 130 patients and these brigades will be given tothroughout my reign as Miss Ecuador.And I am very excited that if with a single brigade we reach that number of patients it means that I will even exceed the goal I raised in terms of project beneficiaries.

Is this the only project of your reign or are there more social plans?

No, this is one of the projects, of course there are already foundations linked to the organization and I always have the good will to help, I believe that God's times are perfect and if I am at this time, living this precise moment ofMy life is with the sole objective of serving.Beyond representing Ecuadorian beauty, it moves me a lot to serve and this platform allows me to do it, to create a positive impact.(YO)
