Miss Puerto Rico, Heilymar Rosario, was crowned Miss Intercontinental 2016.
Miss Ghana Silvia Commodore was named second runner-up, Miss Italy Floriana Russo was named third runner-up, and Miss Venezuela Amal Karina Nemer was named fourth runner-up.
The 25-year-old Jennifer is a nurse by profession and is also a professional model. She hoped to become the country’s first Miss Intercontinental titleholder, after 2015’s Philippine bet was named first runner-up.
