Competition will be tough for this year's Miss Universe 2013, but one candidate is getting buzz because of her strong will to succeed at an early age, and that is Riza Santos, Miss Canada Universe 2013.

Riza Santos, the stunning beauty representing Canada for this year's Miss Universe pageant, is one of the 86 confirmed delegates to compete for the coveted and glorious crown. A lot of the contestants may have their unique x-factors that will help them shine brighter, but Miss Canada, Riza Santos, already has a future ahead of her whether she wins or not, and this makes her a truly inspiring and exceptional candidate. While a lot of women her age are busy "being young" and care free, the 27-year-old delegate from Canada wishes to be an entrepreneur for her own engineering company.

Aside from being headstrong into creating her own business, Miss Canada, Riza Santos was a former Canadian Forces Army Reserve. Spending time in the army might have taught Riza huge lessons on discipline, and she is surely "enforcing" those rules into her daily life. One more skill Riza has is her ability to shoot a target with a C7 service rifle. Another "dangerous" talent that Miss Canada, Riza Santos has is being skilled at knife throwing. Maybe this is why the Calgary beauty knows how to address her goals straight on and without miss.  

Because she is of pure Filipino descent, Miss Canada, Riza Santos became quite the celebrity in the Philippines when she joined "Pinoy Big Brother," the Philippine version of the famous reality show. Riza even appeared in several movies in the Philippines simply because her beauty and charisma couldn't be denied.

Catch the coronation night on November 9 in Moscow's Crocus City Hall, where Miss Canada, Riza, will have to outdo other contestants for the title of Miss Universe 2013.
