Mexico had been trending the controversy after Trump lashed his outrageous comments on the nation. If a placement is on the cards of Mexico, do not be surprised! Wendy Esparza was born in Evanston, Illinois and has lived between the U.S and Mexico most of her life allowing her to experience a cultural duality. She attended Loyola University in Chicago with a full-ride scholarship and earned a B.A. in Journalism with a minor in Latin American Literature. Throughout college she studied abroad in Rome and had the opportunity to travel to Guatemala and Mexico on mission trips. Her dream is to work in broadcast news and was working at a local news station in Aguascalientes when she decided to enter pageantry. She learned to walk in heels at the age of 22 and has enjoyed the challenges and adventures as Miss Universe Mexico. With that outstanding confidence, power to pose for the camera, Wendy is emerging as a likeable personality as the days are progressing.
