Miss Global Teen Brazil 2010

5/11 - Thuanny Rodrigues Ferreira, Miss Global Teen Brazil, will welcome the world in her country

Thuanny Rodrigues Ferreira, a 16-year-old from the city of Rio de Janeiro, was chosen to represent Brazil in Miss Global Teen 2010. Crowned Miss Teen Rio de Janeiro last November on a cruise ship, the 1.70-m-tall model knows that her responsibility now is much bigger:

"I am very honored to be the first Miss Global Teen Brazil and to represent my country at home. It will be great to welcome girls from all over the world in my own country. I hope they take home the best memories and impressions from Brazil", she said.

Thuanny describes herself as a very outgoing person, who enjoys spending time with her friends, listening to music, dancing, and walking the runways.

Her goal is to graduate from high school in 2011 and be admitted by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

"I want to go to college and graduate as soon as possible to be a great professional and an independent woman", commented the Brazilian teen queen.

Thuanny will be officially crowned by Ivaldo Ximenes, her agent and director, on May 20, during her birthday party.

"Can you imagine that?? I am very excited and can barely wait for my birthday!", she complemented with joy.

Miss Brazil and several other international teenagers will compete on July 3, in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, for the title of Miss Global Teen 2010.
