Hello there, Jocelyn, tell us a little more about yourself. Well, I’m Puerto Rican, but was actually born in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts and raised in Vineland, New Jersey USA. I’m currently in the entertainment industry and an ambitious model who hopes someday will be on the cover of every magazine possible and attending fashion week all over the world.

How long have you been modelling and how exactly did competing for Miss Fashion Global 2002 come about? I started modelling when I was about 15 years old with Barbizon, an international modelling and acting school in Florida. I learned so much, met so many great people and it was just an overall great experience. And how this all started is very coincidental, or maybe just the timing of the universe, but I was actually scrolling on Instagram and came across an ad for Miss Fashion Global 2022. My gut feeling told me to go back and check it out. So I did and I qualified to participate in the competition!

What is your best asset? Physically, my best asset is definitely my eyes physically. Otherwise, my personality – I can a bit goofy sometimes, but I just embrace it all.

You have a few tattoos – what type of ink would you want to get next? Yes I do, I have about 10 tattoos and I’m definitely thinking about getting a nice big piece of art on my right thigh. I actually have a drawing of it from a friend – it’s of me walking out of the woods with a pack of wolves.
