With gratitude, I reflect on serving as your 2025 Bronx Puerto Rican Cultural Pageant Queen, a role that has prepared me to step confidently into this next chapter. 🙏🏽 Thank you, thebxpuertoricanparade 

This past year alone, I’ve taken my work from here at home in the Bronx, across all boroughs of New York City, to my grandmother’s hometown of Guánica, Puerto Rico, and even to the Dominican Republic. Proudly expanding  my impact across communities, this year of service has been defined by intentional action.

I’ve partnered with nonprofits, led fundraisers, and mentored youth ; from facilitated workshops in local classrooms to community events to global stages. This work has always been bigger than me, and serving as a titleholder is a privilege I honor. 

Now, as Miss Puerto Rico 2026 for Queen Of The World Pageant 🇵🇷🌎, I proudly carry Nuyorican grit and the strength of my heritage. I represent Puerto Rico and the Latin community; those who rise without resources, transform struggle into strength, embody the testimony of succeeding despite adversity and being underestimated. As a woman of color, I intend to amplify our voices and stories. 

As a public speaker, certified mentor, and community builder, I am committed to creating access through visibility, engagement and collaboration. Through providing educational resources, mentorship, and tools for personal and professional development so more women of color can step into their inevitable success and lead in their own lanes. This title is for US. We are generational cycle breakers in proofing that we are the miracle our bloodline has been waiting for. 

This stage is an opportunity to expand that work from local to global, while remaining grounded in who I am and where I come from.

Unidos Somos Más Fuerte. Together, we are stronger. 

Con orgullo, con propósito, y con mi gente siempre en el corazón…
I represent Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷✨
