Dominican wins Miss Canada Universe pageant

Santo Domingo.- Dominican-born belle Paola Nuñez Valdez was elected Saturday night as the candidate who’ll represent Canada in the Miss Universe 2015 pageant.

According to the event’s website Nuñez immigrated with her mother to Canada at the age of 10, having prior success in Dominican Republic as a jazz, hip hop, samba and belly dancer as well as a debut on local television when she was 7.

Upon arrival in Canada the beauty queen had to deal with a language barrier, which got her recognition as honor students for her effort to learn English quickly.
