The sash of Venezuela always carries a strong weight at Miss Universe. Winning seven crowns at Miss Universe is not a piece of cake, besides having a remarkable feat at the placements. Osmel Sousa knows how to invest his talent, dedication and instructions on the Venezuelan beauties, and this year he is again back with yet another stunner, Mariam Habach. Venezuela’s recent performances at Miss Universe can be defined in one word as outstanding.
Venezuela has been consistently placing since five years at Miss Universe and after 2012 second runner up finish, the nation finally got its seventh crown in 2013 through Gabriella Isler. Last year Venezuela made a Top 10 cut through Mariana Jimenez. This year Mariam Habach will be bearing the sash of the biggest powerhouse of pageants, Venezuela.
Apart from having a very sweet and tender beauty, Mariam is quite altruistic not just by her heart but also through profession. 19 years old, Mariam is a student of dentistry at University Jose Antonio Paez in Valencia. She hails from the city of El Tocuyo, Lara and was born to a Syrian father and an Italian mother. The lady is quite fond of learning different languages and she is fluent in Arabic, Italian and Spanish.
Do not regard this mesmerizing beauty as a newbie in pageants as she has also won Miss Centroccidental 2015 title before joining Miss Venezuela 2015. The curvaceous beauty stands a towering height of 5ft 11 inches and has modeled for the pro fashion designer, Gionni Straccia. Another interesting trivia about this captivating beauty lies in the fact that Mariam becomes the first heir of the new Miss Venezuela crown which was designed by famous artist George Wittels.

Under the direction of Osmel Sousa, Venezuela has accumulated more international pageant titles than any other country. Venezuela now owns seven Miss Universe winners, six Miss World winners, seven Miss International winners and two Miss Earth. With a good guidance, Mariam will certainly do well in the coming edition of Miss Universe, considering the abundant amount of time she has to prepare for the competition.
During the Miss Venezuela competition, Mariam Habach was not a huge favorite of neither the Venezuelans nor of other pageant enthusiasts around the globe. But despite of not being the favorite, the stunner amazed everyone with her immutable performance, asserting she is the one! Mariam that night became the successor of Mariana Jimenez, and is ready to strut the runway at Miss Universe pageant next year.
In a talk show, Mariam expressed: "Although it sounds cliché or something repetitive I am very happy and have a dream fulfilled now. Two years ago maybe I did not feel safe or mature to compete. It's a great responsibility to have. During the contest, my relationship with Miss Amazonas (Miss Earth today) was always pleasant and friendly, we even have several friends in common. She is a very sweet girl and I like Miss Trujillo, now Venezuela Miss International. We have always been aware from each other.”
Pondering over the challenges she faced at the course of the competition, Mariam also added: "I must confess that night felt a little competition because people attacked the Tocuyo (Lara state) the power goes every day, especially on Thursdays. My followers wrote me many messages through social networks that they wanted to see the show to support me but could not. I had several times where I thought I could not finish my goal. At times I was sad to think that I will not reach the hearts of people. My father always taught me that while the road is longer, higher is the learning of experiences.”
In a recently concluded interview, Habach stated that she always had a penchant for beauty pageants. Her fondness for pageants increased when she won a primary school pageant at the age of 13. Mariam’s beauty is quite fresh, tender and comes across as genuine. She has a good stage presence, likeable personality and confident approach to answer the questions projected towards her.
The taste of winning something you are really passionate about is par explicable, hence Mariam Habach can beautifully pull of her best in the coming edition of Miss Universe 2016.
