Ivette Concepcion Saucedo is an actress and model of Mexican and Spanish descent. She was the first to be crowned as "Queen of the Universe" as Miss Spain in the premiere Queen of the Universe Pageant in Los Angeles on January 27, 2013.[1][2]

At the age of 13, Ivette was featured in a Hawaiian Punch TV commercial, and went on to perform in music videos for Redman, Dr. Dre, and Toni Braxton. In college she studied nursing, and has worked as a medical assistant for several years. From her formative years to adulthood Ivette has worked as a professional model, doing print and television work, including Beige TV, Turbo Cat Shoes and layouts for Seventeen and Teen Magazine.

Ivette is a professional and competitive horse rider in an equestrian drill team which has won numerous awards and has traveled throughout the United States and internationally performing the traditional art of Escaramuza. She has competed in hundreds of events and was the first and only crowned Reina to represent the United States in the Escaramuza de Reinas for four years.

As a career model, Ivette has worked with IT Models, NEXT Models and Wilhelmina, and has traveled to Mexico and Japan. For over seven years she has designed the outfits for her equestrian team as well as four other teams. As an actress, she has appeared in a supporting role in the 2013 independent film, "The Paper Boat"[3] and will also appear in 2014's independent short "Criminal."[4]

Also a philanthropist, Ivette works with the charity "My Sister’s Closet," which provides clothing to homeless and financially struggling teens, and she formed “Casey’s Rescue,” named for her father, which rescues and finds new homes for abandoned pets. During her reign as "Queen of the Universe," Ivette joined pageant founder Joyce Giraud to become part of the "Padres Contra el Cancer" initiative, visiting children with cancer in hospitals,[5] as well as the Adopt-a-Letter Foundation.[6]
