Miss International

Prior to winning the beauty pageant, the blonde, blue-eyed[1] beauty participated in several beauty pageants. A native of San Juan, she was a finalist of Miss Puerto Rico in 1986, and was chosen to represent Puerto Rico in the succeeding year when no local pageant took place. She placed 4th Runner-Up at Miss Universe 1987,[2] before going on to win the Miss International 1987 pageant.[3] She was also crowned Nuestra Belleza in 1991.
