Miss Earth Colombia 2022 is Andrea Aguilera Arroyave
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 holds a degree in journalism, neurolinguistic programming, and a specialization in early childhood care. She has worked as a TV presenter, professional model, and soprano singer. In her spare time, she enjoys dancing, reading, and meditating.
For her advocacy, she works with Fundación Botellas de Amor (Bottles of Love Foundation), an organization that transforms bottles full of recycled plastic into material for building houses and recreational parks for underprivileged children and their families. She also supports initiatives aiming to reduce chronic malnutrition and promotes development through nutritional treatments and comprehensive support programs.
"We are sure that our 'eco delegate' will be able to comply with the values that characterize our organization, the environmental work that entails being our ambassador, spokesperson, and leader, in addition to representing Colombia the best way internationally," Miss Earth Colombia Organization said in an official statement.
No stranger to pageantry, the newly appointed Miss Earth Colombia was last year crowned Miss Mundo Colombia 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 placement was in 2016 with Michelle Gómez who finished in the Top 4 and bagged the Miss Earth - Air title.
