Before the competition, Vanessa expressed that being Miss Cochabamba allowed her to have more contacts both for her profession and for community service, an activity that she likes to do and she is sure that Miss Bolivia is an important platform that can open many doors for her. With her win, she can definitely use her title to work more for her project to fight against cancer.
Along with the Oncofeliz Foundation of Cochabamba, Vanessa will continue her work to raise funds for more than 300 sick children and raise awareness against this problem as she did before participating in the pageant.
