Yara Sofia is the stage name of Gabriel Burgos Ortiz (born May 8, 1984), a Puerto Rican drag queen, professional make-up artist, and reality television personality.
She is most known for appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race season 3, where she won Miss Congeniality, and All Stars season 1, where she was partnered with Alexis Mateo.
In 2021, Sofia returned to compete on All Stars season 6.
In June 2021, she released "Jiggle!", her debut single.
Although born in San Juan, Ortiz was raised in the small town of Manatí, Puerto Rico.
While her mother was pregnant with her, she had expected Yara to be a girl for the majority of her pregnancy, and had even denied the doctor informing her of her baby’s sex until she was revealed to be male.
Her drag career began at local San Juan gay nightclub Krash (also known as Eros), where in 2005, she won her first gay pageant title "Miss Road to Diva."
Later, in 2006, Ortiz earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theater from the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in San Juan.
Her name originates from a beauty pageant that was held at her former dance studio, where she chose the name Cuba.
She also selected the name Yara after a girl she attended school with, and was gifted the surname Sofia by a friend of hers who also competed in the pageant.
She was later eliminated on the fourth episode, Halftime Headliners, placing 10th overall.
Sofia was announced as a cast member on the third season of Logo's popular reality series, RuPaul's Drag Race, which premiered on the network on January 29, 2011.

She won the challenge in episode 11 where the contestants had to create three different looks for a hair themed fashion show.

The duo was eliminated in the fourth episode of the series which aired on 12 November 2012, coming in the 3rd-place position amongst the teams, with Sofia therefore placing 5th/6th overall with Mateo.
