Filipina-Danish beauty Michelle Thorlund will represent the United States of America in the upcoming 50th Miss Intercontinental pageant.
The 25-year-old professional model from Orange County, California was born in the US to a Danish father and a Filipino mother. She is no stranger to pageantry, having joined Mutya Pilipinas in 2016, where she was one of the Top 3, and Miss World Philippines 2019, where she placed in the Top 12.
Fun facts about her include a special talent for playing classical piano. She loves classical music and two of her favorite composers are Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. At the age of 18, she pursued a modeling career, traveled around for it and appeared on numerous billboards across the US.
Last July, she took to social media to announce she was crowned Miss Intercontinental USA 2022. “Beyond excited for this journey to begin,” she added in the caption.
Miss Intercontinental 2022 will be held on October 14 in the beautiful city of Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. The current title holder is Cinderella Faye Obenita of the Philippines.
