Orphaned at the age of eight, Sarcos was raised by nuns in a convent in San Carlos, the capital of Cojedes. She found a new passion in the world of fashion and started her career as a model. Sarcos comes from a family of 12 brothers and sisters.[3]

Sarcos competed as Miss Amazonas in her country's national beauty pageant, Miss Venezuela 2010, on October 28, 2010, and was crowned Miss World Venezuela.[4] She also won the Most Beautiful Face award.[5]
Miss World 2011
On November 6, 2011, Sarcos won the 2011 Miss World pageant held in the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London. She was placed third runner-up during the Miss World Beach Beauty event[6] held on October 29 and fifth-runner-up in Miss World Top Model,[7] also held on October 29, becoming the eventual winner of Miss World 2011 on November 6. She became the sixth woman from Venezuela to capture the title. In a press conference after her victory, she said, "“This has taught me that life, although it may be bad, doesn’t have to end badly. Although I no longer have my parents, it has taught me to be stronger..... I want to carry on doing the wonderful work that ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ and the Miss World organization does and to help people in need.... I want to help people like me."[8] The President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, congratulated Sarcos, by telephone and on Twitter.[9] Sarcos was interviewed on Univision for the TV programs Despierta America and Don Francisco Presenta[10] in Miami (USA) and featured in a 7-hour special on Venevision for her return to Venezuela, reaching a 73% share of the viewing audience.[11] A press conference for her victory was held in Caracas with several journalists.[12] She appeared in Hello magazine[13] for the UK and in Look Caras and OK! magazine in Venezuela.[14] On January 4, 2012, President Hugo Chávez received Sarcos with flowers and kiss her hand after their meeting at the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas and expressed his government's support.[15] Sarcos has a foundation, called Belleza con Proposito (beauty with a purpose), for people in need.[16] On November 16, 2011, she attended Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's birthday lunch.[17] On January 16, 2012, Sarcos was at the Ordos City Ice Festival.[18]
