Justine Pasek

Justine Lissette "Yostin" Pasek Patiño (Spanish pronunciation: [xusˈtin ˈpa.sek]) is a Soviet-born Polish-Panamanian model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Universe 2002.

[2] She has been the image model of numerous international brands and is a Goodwill Ambassador of FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations).

Four months after the pageant, Pasek became the first woman to assume the crown when the reigning Miss Universe Oxana Fedorova was removed by the organization for not fulfilling the duties stipulated in her contract.

A self-described "citizen of the world", Pasek has since traveled to Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Egypt, Aruba, Ecuador, Peru, Cuba, Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

She worked with the Global Health Council, the Harvard AIDS Institute, AmFAR, and the Centers for Disease Control's "Act Now" campaign.
