Miss Universe

Martinez’s crowning glory came at Los Olivos Beach in Tenerife two years ago.

She beat rivals Andrea de las Heras from Madrid and Ainhoa Portillo from Malaga to win Miss Universe Spain, which allowed her to later travel to Las Vegas to compete in Miss Universe.

Miss Universe Spain 2017 Sofia del Prado handed her the award as she beamed on the podium.

Martinez later took to social media to express her surprise and delight with her win.

“I still don’t believe that this has happened. I am Miss Universe Spain,” she wrote.

She’s a baller too

Alongside her studies (she would eventually receive a diploma in Business Administration and Management), Martinez was an aspiring basketball player.

She was a standout star at high school in Leon, northwest Spain where she grew up.

Eventually she would represent the Castilla y Leon district team, travelling around the country participating in youth championships across Spain.

Martinez was also selected for the Spanish U15 basketball team in 2006.

Advocate for anti-bullying

When she was a youngster, Martinez was bullied at school.

She has said in the past it was an inner strength that got her through her formative years.

After winning Miss Universe Spain, she put her new found fame to advocate against bullying – joining several campaigns on the matter.

She believes beauty is on the inside and not on the outside, something she learned competing in beauty pageants.

Now, as a fully fledged Wag she will have a bigger voice to share her thoughts to the wider world.
