Career
During her childhood, Ana Patricia ventured into the world of beauty pageants, notably participating in the Nuestra Belleza México contest. At the age of eighteen, she was her home state’s representative in this prestigious event in 2005.
A pivotal moment in her journey came along when, in 2010, she went to L.A. to audition for “Nuestra Belleza Latina.” Successfully making the cut, Ana Patricia had a great time on the reality show. Following weeks of intense competition and stressful rounds of eliminations, she emerged triumphant, clinching the monetary prize of $250,000; she was also offered a contract by Univision.
Her victory earned her the title of “Nuestra Belleza Latina 2010,” marking her as the only other Mexican lady to achieve this honour, following in the footsteps of Alejandra Espinoza, who took the title in 2007.

The show featured 24 single contestants seeking a love match, with TV viewers actively participating by calling in to vie for a date with their favourite contender.
While the show’s format may seem unconventional, its success has been evident in other countries such as Turkey, Columbia, and Germany.
