"Again, I'm grateful to be guided by people who have done it. And also because I am a fashionista, I know I'm very passionate about it."
When asked about her mom, Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez, Michelle replied, "My mom is just happy that I'm traveling. She's happy I can explore outside Miss Universe because she knows I took that job very seriously.
"And I didn't allow myself to plan outside of that because I focused on that career.
"My mom is glad I can explore and experience even a little bit of what she experienced when she was younger. She calls me every day and checks on me."
