MIAMI - Representing the United States of America at Miss Global Teen 2010 in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, is 19 year-old Caroline Rodriguez Lassance. Caroline was born and raised in Miami, Florida and is of Brazilian and Cuban descent.

She speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, and some French. The American beauty is currently enrolled in the dual college degree program at Florida International University/Miami-Dade College, with a major in Business Administration and a minor in Music, which has always been her passion.

Caroline did some modeling jobs while in high school and also had the opportunity of traveling to several countries with her high school choir, including the great honor of singing to the Pope at the Vatican in 2006.

She has been involved in environmental projects to help give awareness to the community about Global Warming, and at a very early age she started to volunteer in many community service organizations and charity institutions through her school, church, and Girl Scout troops.

For the last 3 years, Miss Global Teen United States has been part of a female vocal group called Brazilian Voices, a non-profit organization, in which she has had the opportunity of singing in several shows in South Florida, as well as being a part of its Educational and Arts and Healing Programs.

Caroline loves singing, dancing, playing the piano, and traveling. She is very proud and honored to represent her country in the first edition of Miss Global Teen, and is also very excited to visit Mato Grosso do Sul and meet the other girls from all over the world.

Special thanks to her mother Ines, and her coach Maxine Mitchell, who has helped her tremendously to prepare for this competition.
