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

My name is Melissa Ejercito, and I am honored to represent the Philippines in the Miss Woman International 2025 World Final. As a mother, nurse by profession, entrepreneur, and fitness enthusiast, I embody the strength, versatility, and beauty of women, especially after experiencing the transformative journey of childbirth and entering middle age. I am passionate about creating content that inspires — whether online or offline — touching on themes such as beauty, lifestyle, and personal empowerment. I see pageantry as a unique path for personal growth, self-expression, and an opportunity to proudly showcase Filipino culture and values. As Filipinos, we are known for our resilience, warmth, and diversity — qualities I carry with me proudly. Join me on this incredible journey! I am a proud mother, and I began my journey in beauty pageants and modeling in 2020 — already balancing motherhood. It is not easy to juggle being a parent, a professional, and pursuing personal passions, but doing so proves the incredible resilience and determination of women. I’ve inspired many to understand that motherhood is not a limitation, but rather a source of strength and purpose. I believe that professionalism, dedication, and loyalty are essential — not only in modeling but in any career. Professionalism earns respect and trust, dedication fuels perseverance through challenges, and loyalty fosters meaningful, long-lasting relationships with agencies, brands, and collaborators. These values are key to thriving in a competitive industry. Relocating to a new country is undoubtedly a significant challenge, but it also offers immense opportunities for personal and professional growth. While starting anew in Europe may sometimes feel overwhelming, I believe that with hard work and focus, new doors will open — both in the modeling industry and in my career as a nurse. My commitment to fitness reflects a long-term dedication to my physical and mental well-being. Advocating for a healthy lifestyle and balanced nutrition is not just about appearance — it’s about energy, confidence, and longevity. These aspects are essential in the world of modeling and pageantry, and I strive to inspire others to prioritize their health. When it comes to beauty, I prefer a clean and fresh glam look that enhances natural features and celebrates individuality. Over the years, I’ve developed my own skills in hair and makeup through experience. My fashion style leans toward classic elegance — I don’t follow fleeting trends because I believe fashion is a personal expression, not a rulebook dictated by what’s “in or out” In the modeling world, where there is often pressure to conform, staying true to oneself makes all the difference. Embracing one’s authenticity allows individuality to shine, and exploring new things leads to growth and self-discovery. Fashion is a powerful form of art — the way colors, textures, and fabrics come together to evoke emotion or tell a story is truly inspiring. A single outfit can awaken confidence, joy, or even nostalgia. That’s the magic of this industry. What sets Miss Woman apart is its celebration of not only beauty and elegance but also inclusivity and global friendship. It brings together women from diverse backgrounds and cultures, promoting understanding and unity while embracing individuality. The diversity of stories and talents makes the experience deeply meaningful. Every collaboration and new experience is a chance to grow, learn, and create opportunities for the future. Beyond potential modeling or brand partnerships, I look forward to connecting with inspiring individuals from around the world. I am especially thrilled to return to beautiful Tenerife for the second time — it is a truly enchanting place! The inclusivity of Miss Woman — embracing different ages and marital statuses — breaks the traditional limitations often imposed on women. It powerfully affirms that ambition and personal growth have no expiration date. This message resonates deeply with me. I bring passion, dedication, and sincerity to everything I pursue, and I believe these qualities are what set me apart in this competition. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my family and friends in the Philippines, and to my many international supporters who have stood by me throughout my journey. Though I am not perfect, they have supported me through every stage of life — from motherhood and entrepreneurship to national and international pageants. Representing them is an immense honor, and I am committed to making them proud.

My name is Diana Gómez, born and raised in the Dominican Republic. I am 24 years old and currently a Law student. I have always had a great passion for the modeling industry, beauty pageants, and competitions in general, because they push me to bring out the best in myself. Although I have many goals in life, one has always been very clear to me: never leave things unfinished. Modeling is one of those challenges that I want to continue and bring to a beautiful conclusion. Right now, my main professional goal is to complete my university studies. Personally, I’ve decided to change my life for the better, adopt a new lifestyle, become an example for other women in society through my experience, and be a great mother. How did you start your career in fashion and modeling? My journey in the industry began in 2011. I wanted to participate in a TV show, one day, I decided to call. I was told that to participate, I needed to be part of a prestigious modeling agency in the country. Determined to be part of the program, I enrolled in the agency and began training as a professional model. In 2013, I entered my first beauty pageant and placed as the sixth finalist. I continued participating in pageants, thanks to the growing inclusivity in the industry, I now have the opportunity to see my dreams come true once again. What are the main qualities a model needs to succeed in the industry? There are many, but if I had to choose, I would say: • Responsibility • Attitude and aptitude • And most importantly: Discipline. I believe discipline is the foundation of success in any area of life. What has been the biggest challenge in your career, and how did you overcome it? The biggest challenge was becoming a mother. Society often makes women believe that motherhood limits their opportunities and dreams. I overcame that phase by realizing that my responsibility as a mother was greater than any challenge and that I had to embrace my new reality. Thankfully, society is now beginning to understand that motherhood is not the end of a woman’s life—it’s a transformation. Yes, life changes, but it doesn’t make us any less. The industry has evolved and is now allowing mothers to dream again and feel included. How do you prepare for a photoshoot or a fashion show? Do you have a special routine? I don’t follow a specific routine because I believe a model should be consistent in her daily habits. I maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly to look good in photos, drinking plenty of water, eating well, and practicing good hygiene. However, if I had to highlight one thing I like to do before a shoot or show, it’s exfoliating my skin so it looks and feels smoother. What type of look do you like to create for yourself? How do you choose your outfits and makeup? I always consider the nature of the event I’m attending, making sure my look is appropriate for the occasion and also reflects my personality. In general, I like my style to have a touch of sensuality without being vulgar. I love to highlight my femininity and the curves that represent Dominican women. When I’m with my team, we choose the outfits and makeup together, because they are professionals, and a beauty queen should know when to follow expert guidance. As a professional model, what advice would you give to young girls who aspire to follow this path? I would tell them to have a clear vision of what they want, to know their own personality and make firm decisions. They should be consistent and disciplined—those are the keys to achieving their goals in the modeling industry and in life. What inspires you when working on new projects in the fashion world? My biggest inspiration is the desire to inspire others. I want to show that although I’m a mother, I’m also a woman who pursues her dreams. My son is my biggest motivation—I want him to be proud of the woman I am. I also find inspiration in knowing that other young women are watching me. That encourages me to do things the right way, to show them that it’s possible to reach our goals through discipline and integrity. Nothing is impossible for those who dream and work hard. In the context of Miss Woman 2025 in Tenerife, what does it mean for you to participate in an international beauty pageant? I can sum it up with one phrase: “God’s timing is perfect.” The dream that once seemed so far away is now closer than ever. But I’m coming back as a different Diana—a more mature, wiser, better-prepared woman, with clearer goals and stronger discipline to achieve them. How do you think your experience at Miss Woman 2025 will help you grow professionally as a model? I believe the experience at Miss Woman 2025 will help me grow significantly. It’s an international platform where I can shine, expand my network, enrich my modeling résumé, reach new audiences, and share my message as a woman. Every experience teaches us something valuable and prepares us for whatever stage life puts us on. What do you look for in a pageant like Miss Woman 2025? What sets you apart and makes you unique for this kind of event? Miss Woman celebrates culture, empowerment, strength, and beauty—qualities that are part of my very essence. I am a determined and disciplined woman with strong moral values. I carry the warmth of my culture within me—we Dominicans are empathetic, kind, loving, and full of joy. What message do you hope to convey through your participation in Miss Woman 2025 in Tenerife? My message is that women are strong. We are built to endure pain, give life, and still pursue our dreams. We must always take advantage of opportunities to grow and become who we are meant to be. Teen pregnancy is not ideal, but we learn and grow from life’s mistakes. To all the young women who, like me, once felt their lives were over after becoming mothers—I want to tell them that motherhood is one more reason to fight for our dreams. It is possible. Don’t give up or disappear into the background. Everything has its time under the sun. We just have to be prepared and attentive when our moment to shine arrives.

My journey began as a professional model, where I worked on fashion weeks, commercials, video productions, and talk shows.

In addition to my achievements in pageantry, I am a former varsity volleyball player, having competed at the national level from grade school through college.

Today, I am not only thriving as an entrepreneur but also making an impact as a National Pageant Director, mentoring future beauty queens. Passion, hard work, and the drive to inspire others are at the core of everything I do. How did you start your career in the world of fashion and modeling? My modeling career began with a deep passion for fashion and photography. I initially took on local modeling assignments before being signed by an agency that recognized my potential.

Facing challenges along the way, I remained focused on self-improvement, maintaining a positive outlook, and drawing strength from the unwavering support of my loved ones. How do you prepare for a photo shoot or a fashion show? Is there a special routine that you follow? To ensure peak performance for a photo shoot or fashion show, I prioritize proper rest, hydration, and a consistent skincare routine. Light stretching helps me stay physically prepared, while listening to music allows me to relax and build confidence before stepping in front of the camera or onto the runway. My personal style is best described as effortlessly chic—I favor simple yet bold outfits complemented by natural, glowing makeup, always prioritizing comfort while maintaining elegance. As a professional model, what advice would you give to young people who aspire to pursue this career? To aspiring models, my advice is to embrace your individuality, remain patient, be persistent, and always maintain a positive attitude.

My name is Melanie Denise Hansen, I am 21 years old and from Denmark. I work for Astralis in their internet café in Copenhagen and dedicate my free time to creative pursuits, including UGC (user-generated content), which is one of my passions. Growing up in a family with foster children taught me empathy, resilience, and a deep understanding of others’ struggles. However, my childhood wasn’t without challenges. Bullying impacted both my little brother and me, leaving me shy and introverted as a child. Today, I am a strong, outgoing, and confident woman. My dream is to help and inspire others, particularly those who have experienced bullying or struggle with low self-esteem, to believe in themselves and embrace their potential. Through Miss Woman, I hope to amplify my voice to advocate for these causes, inspire positive change, and challenge myself in the process. To me, a true global icon is someone who uplifts others and uses their platform selflessly to make a difference. WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE VALUES THAT DISTINGUISH YOU? In Denmark, I grew up in a family with foster children. This has taught me an incredible amount, given me a lot of life experience, and made me gain a great understanding and insight into other people who are having a hard time. Since I was a child, I have learned that you should help others. I grew up with a lot of bullying, which affected both my little brother and me. When I was younger, I was very shy and introverted because of the bullying. WHY ARE YOU PARTICIPATING IN MISS WOMAN? WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR YOURSELF? Today, I am a completely different woman; I am strong, very outgoing, and social. My dream is to be able to help and inspire other people who are exposed to bullying. Through Miss Woman, I hope to gain a bigger voice

1. How did you start your career in fashion and modeling? At 17, I wasn’t aware of my potential. I was a very insecure girl, often bullied at school for my physical characteristics—my long legs and my “size.” I wasn’t the same height as the average girl in my class. I decided to take dance classes, and there I met a well-known queen trainer in my region, Carlos Mario Miranda (may he rest in peace). He invited me to participate in his contest, Miss Youth Antioquia.  When I told my mom, she encouraged me and said, “Great! Go learn, meet other girls, and see if you like it.” I decided to participate, and to my surprise, I won the contest! I became the Queen, even though I had never stepped foot on a runway before. That’s where my connection with the world of modeling began. 2. What are the main qualities that you think a model should have to be successful in the industry? A model needs to be versatile and willing to wear outfits that may not match their personal style. It’s important to remember that while your identity and style are your own, on the runway, you are the main element that brings a designer’s vision to life. A model must recreate a character step by step, elevating the garment they wear. 3. What are the biggest challenges you have faced in your career, and how did you overcome them? I’ve faced several challenges. At the start of my career, when I was 17, the biggest challenge was competing in my country. Meeting the requirements to walk on prestigious runways often came with offers that compromised my dignity, and I had to say no. Later, I had to step away from modeling at different points in my life. In one instance, my job prohibited me from being a model, and again, I had to say no. The most significant challenge came after experiencing emotional domestic violence. It was a difficult process, but with God’s help, I was able to rise again. During that time, I took physically demanding jobs that left me disconnected from myself. I wasn’t even able to take care of the little things, like doing my nails. Overcoming depression and the pain of deportation was another battle. I had to fight for my rights and my dreams. I worked hard to reconnect with my femininity, take care of myself, and prepare to spread my wings again on the runway. One of the toughest mental challenges I faced was overcoming the belief that age or past hardships could limit my abilities. Many times, I doubted myself and thought I couldn’t return to modeling after everything I had been through. But thanks to my agency, I’ve been reintegrated into the industry for the past two years, and it’s been the best gift I’ve given myself. I’ve returned to what I’ve always loved—being a model and being a queen. 4. How do you prepare for a photo shoot or a fashion show? I usually meditate and spend time in quiet spaces, or listen to music that takes me away from the hustle and bustle. I stick to a healthy diet in the days leading up to the event to reduce any swelling. I make sure to take care of my skin and hair, keeping them hydrated for the makeup and hairstyle changes. I stay well-hydrated and do warm-up and strengthening exercises for my feet and legs. 5. What kind of look do you prefer to create for yourself? I am a very chameleonic woman and a bit disruptive when it comes to fashion. I don’t follow protocols or standards—I always choose what makes me feel comfortable and truly myself. There are days when I want to embrace femininity and sensuality. Other days, I prefer a more relaxed, modest style. For me, the most important thing is to stay true to who I am. How do you choose your outfits and makeup? I don’t follow dress codes or trends too closely. I like to experiment with unique combinations that not everyone would dare to wear, and I carry them with confidence. As for makeup, I’m a big fan of the “no-makeup makeup” look. I like to highlight my features in a way that enhances my natural beauty while still feeling like myself in the mirror or in photos. 6. Being a professional model, what advice would you give to young women who aspire to follow this career? Prepare yourself and seek opportunities for growth. Being a model isn’t just about looking pretty; it’s about being a role model—a true, authentic human being. 7. What inspires you when you work on new projects in the world of fashion? Fashion is constantly evolving, taking you to entirely different worlds with each project. Every runway is an experience, a show that must be fully lived and enjoyed. For me, modeling allows me to create different versions of myself, fueling my creativity and helping me discover my potential. 8. In the context of Miss Woman 2025 in Tenerife, what does it mean to you to participate in an international beauty pageant? It’s both an incredible opportunity and a great responsibility. Representing your country on a global stage requires a lot of commitment. For me, it’s a challenge that I am embracing with the dignity and pride my country deserves. It’s also a personal journey, one that helps me grow in spirit, soul, and body. 9. How do you think your experience in Miss Woman 2025 will help you grow professionally as a model? Participating in an international pageant gives me the chance to break cultural and social barriers. While I may not have the power to change everything, the experience will help me grow within the female community and allow me to transcend as a woman. The most important part is enjoying the journey—it may be competitive, but it will change our lives in a deeply positive way. 10. What characteristics do you look for in a pageant like Miss Woman 2025? What makes you unique and distinguishes you for this type of event? In Miss Woman 2025, I hope to see qualities that showcase what women can achieve at any stage of life. Many cultures still impose limitations on women as they grow older, but I want to break those stereotypes. What makes me unique is my ability to see myself as others see me, to believe in my abilities, and to embrace my individuality. That belief allows me to fly and be my true self. 11. What message do you hope to convey to the public with your participation in Miss Woman 2025? I hope to convey the love of God, dignity, self-love, and wisdom-filled empowerment in the lives of womens.

I am Lisa De Angelis, manager of the Hair Studio salon in Tenerife. I have been in this profession for almost 20 years, where creativity, attention to detail, and constant updates on new international trends are, in my opinion, the essential requirements for this field. 1. Can you tell us how your career in the hair or makeup industry began? I started my career with my uncles in Rome while attending hairdressing school. Later, I felt the need to grow further, so I moved to Salerno, where I attended a stylistic course at the Tigi Academy, a renowned international company. There, I had the privilege to work alongside the artistic director Fabio Colucci, and from that point, an incredible professional journey began. 2. What are the main current trends in hairstyling and makeup? Among the current trends in hairstyling, beach waves remain highly popular but with a more natural and romantic touch. For hair coloring, warm blonde and brown tones are preferred. When it comes to haircuts, the French bob is making a comeback, but in a lighter version with softer geometry. 3. What is the most rewarding part of your job? The most rewarding part of my job is understanding people’s needs and creating true transformations for my clients. 4. Do you have a favorite technique or product you always use in your work? For styling, I really like Moroccanoil, which I consider a premium beauty brand. Its products, primarily formulated with argan oil, are based on ethical and sustainable concepts. The brand has a sophisticated and minimalist style with a unique fragrance that my clients absolutely love. 5. How do you personalize a look to suit a client’s personality and unique features? Through a morphological study, I can adapt and personalize a precise style for each person. Every client is unique! 6. What has been the most memorable project or client of your career? There’s no project greater than another; each experience has been unique and valuable. I have worked in international settings, on cruise ships, and in luxury resorts. Every step has been a significant growth opportunity in my professional journey. 7. What are the best tips you would give to someone looking to improve their everyday look?
