From Venezuela to the Universe — A Story of Passion, Purpose, and Perseverance
About Ivana Garcia
Originally from Venezuela, Ivana Garcia moved to the United States at the age of 15 with a heart full of dreams and a deep love for modeling and pageantry. Even after starting a new life in a different country, she stayed true to her passion.
In Venezuela, Ivana earned several regional beauty titles, including Junior Trujillo Venezuela 2013 and Teen Trujillo 2016, building a strong foundation in pageantry from an early age. Once in the U.S., she continued to thrive—earning the title of Miss El Sol 2018, and later becoming Miss Mundo Latina USA 2022.
Her journey did not stop there. She was crowned Miss Grand Florida 2023, placing in the Top 10 at Miss Grand USA 2023, and was recently appointed Miss Supranational Florida 2024, where she became the 1st Runner-Up at the national competition.
Ivana’s modeling career also extends to the runway, where she has walked in major fashion events such as Miami Swim Week, New York Fashion Week, and others across the country—representing elegance, strength, and Latina pride on every stage.
She has received world-class training, including at the Coco Rocha Model Camp, and was awarded Overall Commercial Model at Talent Inc International 2021. But more importantly, Ivana remains a student of the industry: constantly training, learning, and preparing to offer her students the highest level of education and mentorship.
In 2022, Ivana took her first big step as a coach by teaching personalized modeling classes from the garage of her own home. What started as a small idea, fueled by passion and purpose, quickly grew into something bigger. By 2024, she opened her own professional studio and officially launched the Ivana Garcia Modeling Academy—a space where young girls and women are guided with care, experience, and purpose.
Most recently, Ivana introduced IVANA GARCIA Heels—a luxury high heel line that combines elegance and comfort. Through this brand, she continues to contribute to the fashion and pageant industry with quality products that help every woman walk with confidence, style, and purpose.
“I started in my garage, with a mirror and a dream. And now, I help others walk into theirs. Everything I teach is something I’ve lived myself.” – Ivana Garcia
