Samara Vanziler Pascoal – representing Acre, Brazil at Miss Woman International 2025 World Final

My name is Samara Vanziler Pascoal, born in the heart of the Amazon, where nature pulses with strength and resilience—qualities that I carry with me every day.

My journey has always been a balance between biology and fashion, two passions that may seem worlds apart but actually complement one another. I began modeling at the age of 13, standing out at 17, and over the years I realized that my journey extended beyond the catwalk. I chose to pursue education, to expand my knowledge, and I successfully completed a master’s degree—understanding that beauty and intelligence go hand in hand.

After nearly a decade, I returned to the fashion world with new eyes—more mature, more conscious. Representing my state in beauty pageants became a turning point, a return to my roots, my culture, and my mission: to unite beauty, sustainability, and social impact.

I soon recognized that my main qualities are discipline, commitment, and responsibility—traits I developed early on and continue to refine daily. To cultivate these, I chose to take intentional actions that support my mental, physical, and spiritual balance. I follow a routine that combines nutrition and exercise, and the results have been extraordinary. On photo shoot days, I prepare by meditating, working out, and aligning my energy—so the day becomes amazing for everyone involved.

As a lifelong lover of fashion, I prefer a classic daily style: neutral and black tones, comfortable pieces, and a Boho-chic aesthetic that suits my 1.79m height. As for makeup, I go for very light applications and never forget sunscreen.

To me, being a model means striving to bring your best to the world and sharing that energy with others. It’s about connecting your personal universe to the wider world. I’ve learned that beyond talent, what you truly need are people who believe in your dreams. That’s why my advice to aspiring models is: choose reputable franchises and agencies that can elevate your career. Always seek self-development—strive to be better every single day.

New projects continuously inspire me because through them, I develop self-knowledge and broaden my professional horizons. Working with new brands from different regions—whether America, Asia, or Africa—is deeply enriching. Fashion holds unique cultural meaning around the globe, and having the opportunity to grow as a model within this diversity deeply motivates me.

Of course, life always presents challenges. For me, the greatest have been internal. As a neurodivergent individual (ADHD), I had to learn how to discipline myself, stay focused, and overcome the limitations that often led to discouragement. It was through meditation, nutrition, and regular physical activity that I found my strength and stability.

Today, at MISS WOMAN, my very first international pageant, I carry with me the essence of the Brazilian woman: strong, determined, and aware that our daily actions can transform the world. I hope to be a symbol of that transformation—connecting with conscious brands and promoting a vision of beauty that respects the planet.

Participating in MISS WOMAN in Tenerife is the fulfillment of a dream that began when I was just a girl. Now, at 29 years old, I am finally living that dream. These months of preparation—mind, body, and soul—will be intense and meaningful. Representing the strength of the Brazilian woman and showing how fashion, beauty, and our actions can work together to benefit society will be an incredibly rewarding experience. I feel ready to fully embrace the responsibilities of the WOMAN 2025 title.

MISS WOMAN is not only an opportunity to expand our careers but also a platform to become agents of change. I am deeply proud of the path we are building together.

As a model and a biologist, I’ve always needed to exercise maturity and responsibility to grow within both fields. I believe these very qualities are what make me capable of representing this title with dignity and strength.

The message I leave for this moment is:

“Look inward, forgive yourself, and trust your path. Every step we take today builds our tomorrow. Choose wisely, choose with your heart.”

Thank you for every lesson, for every person who helped make this dream possible — and thank you so much!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Samara Vanziler
