Connecticut Model Wins 1st Place at Florida National Competition at:
‘International Teen Belleza Latina Pageant 2010’ in Florida, targets teens,
youth.
Victoria is making Victory in the world of pageantry, making Connecticut proud
as the reigning ‘International Teen Belleza Latina Pageant’ Queen.
Victoria is no amateur when it comes to modeling and the pageantry world.
Though Victoria, a proud local New Haven, CT resident, has been modeling since
age 11, which is considered a late start among other peers in the area of show
business, she is moving up quite hastily in the national ranks, but with
endurance attached.
“I am not coming home until I get my dreams,” was the quote on her website page.
Perhaps some would hesitate, or give up after 4 years of commitment in the
field, but her faith keeps her going. After months of hard work and reaching a
first goal of winning 1st place at the Connecticut State Belleza Latina Pageant
in January 2009, it was off to Florida in July, to compete for the International
title. The competition was rigorous according to Victoria, which included 6
other teens. She had to compete with other ‘beautiful’ girls, against some
stereotypes; against those who were as tall as a top model would be -- a
pre-requisite, and others who had more experience.
Victoria’s platform is teen outreach. She has the desire to get the youth
involved in positive activities and offers support and guidance whenever they
need it. Though she has a subtle personality, her winning attitude and desire
to succeed is hardly restraint. She wants to give other youth the message that
no matter how hard a dream is, that anyone can make it with dedication. Victoria
is very active in her community, and has participated in or helped with several
community events and fashion shows. She has received special recognition from
the Mayor of New Haven in honor of winning the Miss Teen Belleza Connecticut
state title.
In her spare time she writes poetry and likes to take walks and is
multi-talented with exceptional abilities in singing, modeling, acting, public
speaking and cultural dance. Victoria started with Fashion Models Institute in
2005, but has always had an interest in the performing arts. Since then, this
is the 2nd time Victoria has won a 1st place national title after competing in a
pageant. She is committed to her title as the new ‘International Teen Belleza
Latina’ Queen. Currently, at age 17, Victoria has earned a role, currently
working as an Assistant Manager at Interface Talent Network. Her career goals
include being a lawyer, with goals to study sociology and attending an arts
school.
The Miss Belleza Latina Pageant in Connecticut, is run by Connecticut State
Director, Marisol Vega, and has a goal to develop role models, encourage
education, achieve personal accomplishments and encourage positive family
values. It allows Latinas to be judged on individual beauty, pride, and personal
achievements. The three main categories of the competition include interview,
fashion wear and evening gown.
Other winners include Jeannette Rivera, 1st runner up in the Miss division.
Jillian Lopez, 1st runner up in the Petite division and Yaritza Santiago, 2nd
runner up in the Miss Jr. Teen division.
Victoria’s goal with the pageant is to travel to different venues to spread the
word about the endless possibilities of achieving one’s dreams. For bookings and
