Prior to her participation in the 2005 national Nuestra Belleza México pageant, Perales studied Sciences and Communication at the University of Monterrey and was also doing runway modeling apart from her studies.
In 2004, she participated in her state's pageant and placed first runner-up. Perales competed for the state title again the following year and won the title, becoming her state's representative at the Nuestra Belleza México 2005 pageant held September 2, 2005 in the state of Aguascalientes. In the national competition, Perales subsequently won the Nuestra Belleza México title.
Perales later moved to Mexico City in order to start preparing for the international Miss Universe pageant. She also participated in social and charity events with the Nuestra Belleza Mexico Organization and The Televisa Foundation, helping abused children. On July 23, 2006, Perales represented her country in Miss Universe 2006, held in Los Angeles, California, U.S. She placed in the top ten, competing in swimsuit and evening gown. The competition was won by Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico. Perales was succeeded by Rosa María Ojeda of the state of Sinaloa as Miss Mexico Universe.
In 2007, after the Nuestra Belleza Mexico organization reobtained the franchise for Miss International, Perales was chosen to be the country's representative in that pageant, held in Tokyo, Japan. On October 15, 2007, Miss International 2006, Daniela Di Giacomo of Venezuela crowned her successor Priscila Perales of Mexico as the new Miss International, becoming Mexico's first representative to win that particular title.
