• How would you define "beauty?"
It is the harmony of the external and internal qualities of an individual. If someone speaks the truth, such internal quality reflects in the person's exterior.

• What were your reasons for joining the Miss Bolivia pageant?
I enlisted in the Miss Bolivia contest because of the idea that I can show my leadership qualities and thus defend with just and equality the general sentiment of many people. If I win I would be in a better position to be the mouthpiece of my countrymen of what they feel about our country.

• How were you elected as Miss Bolivia Universe? Describe the judging process.
I joined the search of Miss Santa Cruz which was a charitable event of Club de Leones Hamacas. In here I was chosen as Miss Litoral where I automatically gained the ticket to join Miss Bolivia. I competed with other girls coming from the different provinces of Bolivia and I won among them.

• What do you think are your qualities that helped you earn the judges' approval & the crown?
Definitely, my self-confidence, personal strength, energy and also the very good interview that I have shown during the final night.

I underwent intensive classes on fashion and modelling, etiquette and protocol. I also have lessons in English and I go to the gym on a regular basis.

I have the ability to perform and interpret the origin and creation of man through theatrical dance in 60 seconds.

• Any beauty queen/s that you really admire? Why?
I admire Brook Lee so much. I have the opportunity to know her personally and I admire her self-confidence and the way she carried herself, the way she expressed her views and opinion. I also admire her for her great humility.

• Describe your fashion sense and style.
It is very important for me to select a wardrobe that portrays my femininity and personality. I always go for comfort! 

• How will you describe your country to your co-candidates at Miss Universe? 
I would tell them that Bolivia is a country that is like a paradise and it is a picture of a country that tries to preserve its history and natural beauty. You will find a lot of virgin forests and beautiful landscapes in my country. The best thing about Bolivians is the peace that resides within us. The concept of family is very important to us. Families spend quality time during mealtimes.

• What is your opinion on activists' point of view that exposure of too much skin in the swimsuit competition disrespects women?
I believe that it greatly depends on the point of view of every person. In a beauty contest, the judges look for the harmony of internal & external beauty of participants. I believe that women exposing their skin in beauty pageants is necessary not only to show that they have beautiful bodies but also testifies their hard-work in order to have good & healthy figures and it also means that women have power over their bodies.

• Supposed there is a Genie who happens to be mad at you for a wrong deed committed and his punishment is to turn you into an animal for a year. You can't plead to alter his decision but you get to decide what type of animal you would become, what creature would you choose and why?
I would like to be an eagle because I would have the opportunity to observe a lot and be at liberty to fly everywhere, to witness the beauty of paradise from up above the skies and see what man does in this world.

• If it were your last day on earth, what would you eat & why?
It is very difficult to choose any particular food to eat. But I'd like to have all the delicious natural delights that I know and would practically have them on the table to eat and taste all of them.

"Whatever you hope for and whatever your heart desires, everything becomes possible with the help of God."

Yes, because the title has opened doors of opportunities for me. I have the honor to represent Bolivia and help with all truthfulness in projecting and presenting the correct cultural heritage of my country.

Being Miss Universe is the fullest representation of a woman of integral beauty, image and significantly, it would expand my knowledge of culture of other countries.
