Miss Latina Canada 2009: Diana Schoutsen

Diana Schoutsen is the 2009 winner of Miss Latina Canada. This 21 year old young woman is currently a student at York University, and grew up in Binbrook Ontario, a few minutes north of Hamilton - on a dairy farm!

This country girl, loves dirt biking, riding her horse, taking some time out in her backyard lake, and spending time with her family and friends.

Diana is of both Dutch and Honduran heritage, and her parents story is an inspiration of how love conquers all! When her parents met - her mother from Honduras speaking only Spanish and her father from Holland speaking only Dutch, learned to communicate with one another and eventually build a family!

Communicating in the one common language they learned together... English, Diana was raised to be proud of both her cultures. Working on improving her Spanish speaking abilities, Diana's mother is working with her to strengthen her understanding of the language.

Leading up to the pageant, all delegates had come into contact with judges without knowing. Judges wanted the opportunity to meet the girls in a non-competitive environment to really observe how the girls interacted with one another, and how they were able to handle dealing with the public. While all of the girls were definitely impressive, Diana's poise, public speaking ability, and her story of her families experience in Canada wowed the judges!

Diana will have a busy year, and looks forward to the support of all the community during her reign,
