Claudia is a graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Tourism and Hotel Management and one day hopes to become a renowned chef with a restaurant of her own and raise a family. She has very strong family values and believes that women are faced with many obstacles in life which include machismo and the fight for feminism, but strongly believes that women have great value, much like the opposite sex. The biggest problem she thinks her country faces is the lack of interest by Nicaraguans to cope with the problems caused by political differences that directly affect the economy and many cultural aspects.

The Costa Maya Festival Committee announces this week the participation of Sandra Hoyos as pageant host for the Reina de la Costa Maya Pageant.
