Biography

Early life and career beginnings

Stephanie was born to Mazel Landaeta and Carlos Zorzi and having three siblings - Jesus, Catherine and Venezia. Stephanie defines herself as a perseverant, enthusiastic and a fighter. Some of her hobbies can be to watch Anastasia, her favorite movie, or eat her aunt’s tuna and cheese pasta or just listening to her favorite song “Jet Lag” by “Simple Plan”.[2]

De Zorzi studied her elementary and secondary school at the Oral and Integral school of Tumero to then go to Luisa Caceres de Arismendi High School located in the same town. As she is a beauty pageant titleholder, she is a junior at the Universidad Bicentenaria de Aragua, majoring in Psychology, at the same time.[2]

Just like many other contestants, show business was not new for her. She made it to the finalists of Chica HTV, an online contest.[2]

Pageantry

Sambil Model Venezuela 2012

Stephanie also joined Sambil Model Venezuela 2012, and won the Reina de la Candelaria. At the Candelaria contest she met Kathy Pulido who invited her to be part of a regional contest to be a part of the Miss Venezuela pageant.[2]

Miss Venezuela 2013

On October 10, 2013 at the crowning gala of Miss Venezuela 2012, Stephanie placed as 2nd-runner up, earning the tile Miss Venezuela Earth 2013 and will represent Venezuela in the Miss Earth 2014 competition. She won alongside Migbelis Castellanos for Miss Universe in 2014 and Michelle Bertolini as the country's representative for Miss International 2014.[3]

Miss Earth 2014

Stephanie was supposed to fly to the Philippines in November to compete with almost 100 other candidates to be Alyz Henrich's[4][5] successor, but on November 3, 2014, Miss Venezuela Organization decided not to let her compete. Sources state that after a modeling job in Mexico she returned to Venezuela with a few more pounds. Osmel Sousa, the president of the Miss Venezuela Organization, did not think she was at the right weight to go off and represent Venezuela at the Miss Earth 2014 pageant. She was replaced by Miss Earth Venezuela 2014 Maira Rodríguez who was originally set to compete the following year.[1]

However, Osmel clarified that de Zorzi was not dethroned as she was able to finish her reign as Miss Earth Venezuela.
