Renata Soñé

At six months of age, Soñé was left in the care of her grandparents after her mother's death. She went on to pursue a degree in clinical psychology before participating in the Miss Dominican Republic pageant. Of her long-term career goals, Soñé has said she wishes to found a children's institute to continue her interest as a psychologist. To this end, she has been the spokesperson for many campaigns headed by Dominican Attorney General Rossana Reyes designed to discourage child neglect, and curtail the high number of abandoned children through education and public awareness.

Prior to winning the national pageant, Soñé was a professional model with Ossygeno Model Management, appearing in several Dominican fashion periodicals. Soñé has since become the official face of Pantene shampoo, Avon, and the Esbelle weight loss product.
