(Seychelles News Agency) - Camila Estico has lived in in the United States for nine years and only recently returned to the Seychelles islands, yet she is already taking this opportunity to embrace her motherland.  

“Miss Seychelles….…Another world 2014 is giving me the chance to prove that I have always had my country at heart,” said Camilla during an encounter with SNA.

Having lived in the US one of her dream is to meet the president of the USA, Barrack Obama.

Currently residing at Beau Vallon, a northern district of the main island of Mahe, Estico has taken an academic leave for a semester.

She is studying for a degree in the business field at the Hillsborough Community College in Tampa Florida, which she hopes to complete in the near future on top of pursuing a career in performing arts.

So far, her proudest moment was being accepted at New York’s Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater – one of the top ranking performing arts schools in the States.

Estico believes her forte lies in her diverse cultural background, and being well travelled, so far having been to Cuba, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, France, England, Italy, Mauritius and Ethiopia.

The 23 year old is a young woman who is also deeply concerned with healthy living issues and how to curb obesity in young children.

If she is crowned Miss Seychelles…Another World 2014, Estico has pledged to help promote healthy lifestyles, which she believes is the key to a beautiful life.

“I will sensitize people on obesity problems and the risks that the condition poses to their health, by engaging in the education campaigns on healthy dieting to minimize tendencies of unhealthy living.”

As a young person her greatest anxiety is her health status and she becomes anxious when her health is challenged. Her secret to this is by keeping active with Yoga, Zumba and jogging. She also keeps a healthy diet regime by eating local products while keeping watch on the portions she eats.

The young lady considers one of her strengths to be her social skills. She loves interacting with people of different cultures, backgrounds and social statuses and thinks of herself as a very approachable person.

“My biggest dream if I’m fortunate enough to win Miss Seychelles…another world 2014 is to take Seychelles to a height that has never been achieved in Miss World pageant,” declares Camila Estico Contestant Number 4 in the Miss Seychelles…Another World 2014 beauty pageant taking place in 9 days.
