Former Miss Mundo Colombia, Andrea Aguilera Arroyave has been officially announced as Miss Earth Colombia 2022 on Saturday September 10 and she will represent her country at Miss Earth 2022 in the Philippines this November.
The 25-year-old beauty from Medellín is a social communicator and journalist who has a degree in journalism, neuro-linguistic programming and a specialization in early childhood care. She has worked as a television presenter, professional model and soprano singer. In her free time, she enjoys dancing, reading and meditating.
For her protection, she works with Fundación Botellas de Amor (Bottles of Love Foundation), an organization that transforms bottles full of recycled plastic into material for building homes and recreational parks for underprivileged children and their families. It also supports initiatives aimed at reducing chronic malnutrition and promotes development through nutritional treatments and comprehensive support programmes.
“We are sure that our ‘eco delegate’ will be able to match the values that characterize our organization, the environmental work that includes being our ambassador, spokesperson and leader, in addition to representing Colombia in the best way internationally.” The Miss Earth Colombia organization said in an official statement.
No stranger to pageantry, the newly named Miss Earth Colombia was crowned Miss Mundo Colombia last year and went on to compete in the 70th Miss World pageant held in Puerto Rico where she placed in the Top 12.
Colombia has yet to win the Miss Earth pageant. The country’s highest placing was in 2016 with Michelle Gómez who finished in the Top 4 and won the Miss Earth – Air title.
