At 14 years old, Susanlee was introduced to the world of modeling. She always believed that she could make a difference in the lives of all the people who crossed her path. At that age, Susanlee believed she could do that by participating in pageants. She convinced her mother to allow her and guide her in participating in beauty pageants. She’s held various titles including: Orlando’s Perfect Teen 2012; Miss Citrus Teen Miami 2013; Miss Miami Summer 2013; Miss Candy Girl 2014; Miss Miami VIP 2014; Miss Hispanic International USA 2014; Miss Fajardo Petite 2015; Miss Mundo Latina 2017; Miss E.E.U.U. Hispana 2016. Competing in beaty pageants has allowed her to travel to many places not only in the United States and Puerto Rico, but also Dominican Republic and Bolivia. She has modeled for many well-known designers and stores such as: Rosita Hurtado; Juan Carlos Collazo; Henry Mezza, Fernando Wong; Juancarlos Pinera; Sira D’Pion; Macys; Sears; Thalia and many more.  

Susanlee hopes to continue furthering her education and giving back to the community.
