Ingrid Rivera
'I take the title as a very serious endeavor, I do not see the title as a means of glamor but a serious job in which I'll be representing three of the most prestigious organizations in the world; MUO, NBC and the Donald Trump franchise. I believe I am up for this responsibility because I am committed with myself and society, and I consider the pageant an opportunity to stand out professionally.'
