She studied Journalism in Colorado and went back to Mexico where participated in the Miss Mexico pageant where she obtained the sixth place and won the "Miss Dorian Grey" title for the best legs and a modelling contract and she won the right to represent Mexico in Miss International 1985 but she didn't place. She worked on several shows, and eventually in 1993 got one of her own named Un Nuevo Dia, co-hosting it with César Costa. For 5 years, she received many important guests on her show and became well known not only in Mexico, but also in different countries.
Through the years she has done a lot of modelling, and became spokesperson for the make up brand Avon, as well as the first Mexican representative of Bulgari jewelry. Lending her image to charities as Cambia Un Destino, Telethon, and AIDS funds, she has helped to do her best for those who need it.
[edit] On Ricky Martin
De Alba quietly took the confession of the Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin about his homosexuality because he had reported it earlier.
"He, at the time, told me. So when the news came out, I was so quiet; I know that it gave a shock to the whole world," said the former girlfriend of the artist, according to the Web cyber voice free.
