Heilly Massiel Martinez won the crown of Miss Cali 2011 and sets her goals for Miss Colombia and, eventually, Miss Universe.
“I’m here because I saw this goal and I was sure I could get it,” says the new Miss.
Martinez told El Pais that she prepared for the competition in a short two months by taking classes, going to the gym and reading up on local and global news.
The Miss says that current Miss Colombia and fellow-caleña Catalina Robayo is her example because she gained the title “without many expectations,” and not many people knew “who she was and now she is Miss Colombia.”
“In a few months I see myself as a woman both physically and intellectually ready to be Miss Valle,” says Martinez about the competition that will take place in March, “but above all, a worthy representative of Cali.” The Miss says that in the future she wants to compete for Miss Universe “but all in time, for now I will work for the department crown.”
