I get energy from the ideas, images and memories that are in my internal world, rather than the external one; I value deep relationships, I like to connect in a real way and share opinions selectively.”

Thalia is extremely reserved kind of a woman who likes to be comfortable in her own silence but being a beauty queen, she was ought to meet new people and she did with utmost respect and love. She mentioned, “Yes you can be reserved and authentic at the same time because you don't need to show absolutely everything about yourself or be too outgoing to be genuine.” She feels that beauty pageants are an excellent platform for women to amplify their voices, develop leadership and create their own platforms. She wants to dedicate herself in educating and creating awareness for the aspiring models in Venezuela.

According to the diva, “being Miss Venezuela is not only to become a symbol of beauty for the country, it also represents an orientation, guidance and empowerment factor for other young people; that's my main purpose. The best way to do this is to be transparent and honest with all those girls and women who follow me. It is my social responsibility that they really know what they can face when they go out into the world to pursue their dreams, my experience is allowing many girls from now on to be able to set clear goals and objectives, not illusions or expectations that end up disappointing them or making them feel frustrated. That way they will be able to walk a much clearer path and make good decisions for themselves and for the country.”
