Biography of Ivian Sarcos

Ivian Sarcos is a Venezuelan model and the winner of the Miss World 2011 title. She was born in Guanare, Portuguesa, Venezuela. At the age of eight, Ivian became an orphan and was raised by nuns in a monastery in Cojedes. She had initially planned to follow in the footsteps of her caretakers and become a nun, but fate had other plans for her. Ivian discovered the world of high fashion and decided to pursue a career as a model.

Ivian became the sixth Miss World from Venezuela and the first since 1995.

According to Ivian, her victory would allow her to help those who are less fortunate in life, just as she had once been.
