Miss Florida Latina 2010 
Jimena Ordonez

 

Twenty-four year old Jimena Ordoñez is the new titleholder for the Miss Florida Latina pageant. She is of Guatemalan heritage and lives in Miami, Florida.

Jimena is a graduate of Florida International University with a Bachelor’s degree and honors in Mass Communications. She belongs to the St. Kevin’s Religious Education Catechist Program where she teaches religious education, is a member of the Young Professionals Branching Out Organization and a reporter for the media outlet Generation “ñ” and Ancla TV.

 

As Miss Florida Latina, Jimena’s platform is to advise young Latinas to never give up and to keep on trying until you succeed. “As someone starting out in the broadcasting industry, I admire Thomas Edison because not only did he contribute to the Mass Communications field, but never gave up trying to build his inventions.” Jimena exemplifies tenacity, for she competed in countless pageants until finally obtaining the Miss Florida Latina title. “I am thankful to all the people who have believed in me and inspired me to work hard for my goals, as Miss Florida Latina I want to demonstrate to others that with passion you can achieve your goals”.

 

Although Jimena has had mayor roles in independent films and has hosted her own online show, Miss Florida Latina US 2010 wants to further her broadcasting career to become a television news reporter for the city of Miami and to write a book that will inspire others to reach for the stars.
