Caballero served as Miss Chile in 1993, giving her daughter some first hand experience in the biggest beauty pageant in the world. “I have her with me in all of this process,” she said. “I’m living the same emotions that she lived and that’s priceless to me. She’s accompanied me throughout this whole process and has shared some of what she’s experienced.”
