Krysthelle is not new to the world of beauty pageants as she participated in Miss World Panama 2019. She also participated in Senorita Panama 2019 where she was a part of the Top 12 at the coronation night.

With her incredible performance, Krysthelle placed in the Top 10 at the end of the event finale.
The diva is positive, humble, and encouraging towards everyone as she shared, “Like a beautiful star shining in the night sky. Your purpose is not to compare your light or brightness to any other star. Your purpose is not to wish you were a moon or a planet, or to wish you were someone else. Your purpose is not to change who you are or what you are made of. Your purpose is to shine your light as bright and as beautiful as only you can. Your purpose is to celebrate the light of others while celebrating your light too. Because it is only when we are all shining the unique lights that we can light up the entire night sky.”
Krysthelle is excited to represent her country at Miss World 2020 and is hopeful that she will perform her best on-stage to impress the audience and the judges present at the competition. Panama has not yet won the title of Miss World and with Krysthelle Barretto’s crowning, the organization is equally hopeful for the crown as she is strong, confident, and determined towards being her best self-on-stage. She has been actively working with her organization and using the platform of Miss World Panama 2020 to make a positive impact on society.
