Vanessa’s personal motto is ‘We all need each other’, which speaks in length about her personality. Her volunteering work, her advocacy to speak for those who are in need to help, inspires her to be the best version of herself in every second of her life. Vanessa is also bilingual, as she is fluent in both English and Spanish languages.
At the conclusion of Miss World Mexico 2018, Vanessa bested 31 other delegates to become the national champion. She was crowned by Miss World Mexico 2017 Andrea Mesa. The grand finale of the national pageant was held on 5th May 2018 at Salón Imperial de Villa Toscana, Sonora.
