Analía Viviana Vernaza Daulón, the Miss Grand Ecuador 2017 has kick-started her Miss Grand International 2017 journey with a bang as the representative of Ecuador. A model by profession, Analia has recently completed her graduation in corporate communication from Universidad de Las Américas in Quito. Weighing 52 kg, she stands at a decent height of 172 cm. The reason behind her slender figure of 32-24-33.5 can be said to be workout sessions at the gym, which she loves to do.

She is an independent model who has a positive attitude, cheerful personality and a sense of humour and has been part of international fashion shows. In her social platform, she once shared, “Modeling is my passion, something that fills my soul and I love it.” Fond of travelling and exploring new cultures, she says, “Life is not measured by the number of times we breathe, but by the places that take our breath away.”

This lovely woman from Pichincha has a keen interest in social work especially related to animals, and through her social media messages, she encourages people to adopt dogs for their protection and to provide them safe shelter.

She competed in Miss Ecuador 2017 though could not place in Top 10. Initially, María José Villacís from Imbabura, who was the second runner-up in Miss Ecuador 2017, was appointed as Miss Grand Ecuador 2017. Analía was later appointed as Miss Grand Ecuador 2017 when the initially crowned María José Villacís could not continue the role of her title. Even without making it to Top 10 in Miss Ecuador 2017, her selection as Miss Grand Ecuador 2017 was a reflection of the impression she left on everyone in Miss Ecuador 2017 pageant.

On getting selected she shared her gratitude with a message, which said,

“A new challenge and goal that I decided to accept for love and passion for what I do. Thanks to the support of my family, friends, and acquaintances who always encourage me to follow my heart and give the best of me,"

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”

Strongly believing in hard work and taking new challenges in life, Analía has always let her life take a natural course of action. She has always believed in doing what she loves and the rest will automatically fall into place. She buys that if you love yourself no one can and will not be able to stop you.

The always smiling and cheerful Analia has already marked her place in the Top 5 on arrival votes in Miss Grand International, while her charming presence in the competition is winning many hearts. Has she won yours too?
