Nuestra Belleza México 2000
Born in Quintana Roo and raised in Chetumal, she represented her state[2] and competed against fourthy-three other contestants for the national beauty title of Mexico, Nuestra Belleza México 2000,[3] held in Apizaco, Tlaxcala on September 2, 2000.
She was chosen to represent Mexico in the 2001 Miss International pageant,[3] but didn't compete because Nuestra Belleza México temporarily lost the franchise to send representatives to Miss International that year.
