About me...
Hola! My name is Keysi Sayago, and I am a Venezuelan living in Toronto, Canada.
Meet all my past and future projects.
Miss Venezuela & Miss Universe
Experience
In 2016, I proudly held the title of Miss Venezuela, securing not only the prestigious crown but also the coveted Miss Attitude and Miss Smile sashes in the national competition. The pinnacle of my pageant journey led me to participate in Miss Universe 2017, where I achieved the remarkable feat of reaching the top 5 in the beauty competition.
This incredible journey was no cakewalk; it involved two years of rigorous preparation. I dedicated myself to honing essential skills such as public speaking, body language, runway modeling, makeup artistry, and styling. But it didn't stop there; I also focused on perfecting my stage presence and camera skills.
Being part of Miss Universe and representing my country on an international stage was an absolute honor, undoubtedly one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life.
Tv Host
In 2017, I had an incredible opportunity to co-host a nationally televised show called "Beyond Beauty," which comprised ten episodes during the beauty season. During that year, I also actively participated in numerous segments and commercial promotions that aired on national television for various pageant sponsors.
My journey as a host didn't stop there. In 2021, I had the privilege of hosting the CANIFFF Awards show in Toronto, showcasing my skills as an emcee and presenter. Alongside this, I've had the pleasure of participating in various events and local television programs, further expanding my experience and leaving a mark in the world of entertainment.
Mechanical Engineering Degree
In 2016, I proudly graduated from a military university, where I held the unique distinction of being the sole female in my class. Since then, I've garnered valuable experience in coordinating commercial and industrial mechanical projects within and around the vibrant city of Toronto.
Philanthropic Labor
Currently, I'm proudly involved with the Engagement Foundation, a passionate group dedicated to the noble cause of providing food and raising essential funds for those in need in Venezuela.
My deep love for animals has driven me to become an integral part of the Proyecto Nala team, united in our mission to vehemently oppose euthanasia and extend a helping hand to dogs and cats facing disabilities. Additionally, I'm an active volunteer with Fetch and Releash, an organization that tirelessly rescues dogs from various corners of the globe, offering them a fresh start and a chance at a better life.
Model
I have participated in different runways and shows as well as commercials and photo books for designers and different brands.

Proyectos
I currently run my Modeling Workshops series that helps fill the lack of educational elements in the modeling/beauty pageant industry in Toronto. My mission is to offer quality at an affordable price and open the doors to personal work.
I had my own PANTHERA accessories collection in collaboration with the canadian brand NOGU. It was available for sale and was sold internationally.
In 2019 I held a conference called "Latinas Business Ladies" a platform that encourages Latina entrepreneurs to learn through conferences with incredible women who teach us through their own experience. From entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.
