Ninoshka Michelle Figueroa-Jimenez is Miss Swim Week International 2023. Hailing from the city of San Sebastian, on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, Ninoshka is a full-time college student and model. This future forensic anthropologist not only studies "bones" but she has successfully graced the fashion runways of New York Fashion Week, Miami Swim Week, Ponce Fashion Runway, and others. She was thrilled to be the featured model on a Times Square billboard during New York Fashion Week as Puerto Rico's Top Model 2022.

​

Since winning a modeling competition in 2020, Ninoshka has been on an almost meteoric rise as a spokesmodel, hostess and beauty queen. She won several national and international beauty titles, hosts a weekly entertainment television show, and has served as MC for high profile fashion events -- not bad for the nerdy extroverted young woman who graduated with highest honors from high school.

​

As she heads into her senior year of college, Ninoshka has embraced her new role as spokesmodel for the international campaign to protect our oceans and waterways through bringing heightened awareness and advocacy. She is inspired by the beauties of her native island which is known for it's sparkling golden beaches, crystal unblemished waters, and breathtaking landscapes, including, El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S.
