Ahtisa finished the 2025 Miss Universe pageant as third runner-up after her response to the question “If you win the title of Miss Universe tonight, how would you use this platform to empower young girls?"

Ahtisa's response was "I work with an organization called Alon Akademie, where we work with young people to provide them opportunities to make them realize that it doesn't matter what your life circumstances is, it doesn't. I want to continue working with Alon Academy and a bigger platform like Miss Universe to pursue making sure that people who come from low-income backgrounds are given the same opportunities as everyone else. Thank you."

Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch was the one crowned Miss Universe 2025.

Before the Miss Universe pageant, Ahtisa was first in the Most Beautiful People category in the online voting.
