Nicaraguan people who follow closely these pageants were a little apprehensive about her being chosen as the representative for Miss Universe 2012, because she was not born in Nicaragua.

As Nicaragua's representative to the Miss Universe pageant, she took the title of 5th Runner-Up for the National Costume competition, ultimately won by China's Xu Jidan.
As of 2014, Eslaquit was modeling in Nicaragua and working with the country's tourism board, among other projects.
