She stood out among the 92 women from around the globe. The first runner-up is Miss Colombia Laura Gonzalez, while the second runner-up is Miss Jamaica Davina Bennett.
 
Nel-Peters is a 22-year-old Business Management major. Her biggest motivation comes from her half-sister who has a disability. She is passionate about a program she helped develop to train women in self-defense in various situations. She plans to share these workshops and help as many women as she can.
 
The 65th titleholder Iris Mittenaere turned over her crown to Nel-Peters at The Axis, Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas today, November 27.
