Career
She competed in the Mission Panama competition that same year, where she beat other 14 contestants and became Mission Panama 1996. This gave her the opportunity to compete in the 1997 pageant, broadcast live from Miami Beach, Florida. She was a Top 6 finalist, the highest placement ever by a Panamanian at the time (a record that would not be surpassed until 2002).
Later, she was invited to participate in the 1998 beauty pageant, which is annually held in Japan.
