Andrea Meza (Miss Universe 2020) Biography

Mexican model Andrea Meza rose from Chihuahua to win Miss World first runner-up and Miss Universe 2020 titles.

Early life and background
Alma Andrea Meza Carmona was born on August 13, 1994, in Chihuahua City, Mexico. Raised in a family with Chinese-Mexican roots, she grew up in Chihuahua and later attended the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, where she completed a degree in software engineering. Her upbringing included an interest in sports and outdoor activities; she enjoys travelling, riding ATVs, and participating in extreme sports.

Career
Meza began combining modeling with her technical career after graduating in 2017, working as a software engineer in Mexico while pursuing pageants. Her first major national recognition came when she was crowned Miss Mexico 2017. That year she went on to represent Mexico at the Miss World 2017 competition in Sanya, China, where she finished as first runner-up and earned the Miss World Americas and Miss World Continental Queens of Beauty distinctions.

She continued in pageantry and won the Mexicana Universal Chihuahua title in November 2020, also securing several challenge awards during the competition. This national success led to her participation in the Miss Universe pageant. The Miss Universe 2020 event was postponed to May 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic; on May 16, 2021, Meza was crowned Miss Universe at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, becoming the third woman from Mexico to hold the title following Lupita Jones and Ximena Navarrete.

In interviews and onstage answers during competitions, Meza emphasized evolving beauty standards and the importance of inner values, character, and compassion. When asked how she would have handled the COVID-19 pandemic as a national leader, she spoke about the need for decisive early measures to protect lives.

Public profile
Meza is known for her 1.80 m (5'11") stature and model physique. Her listed physical details include hazel eyes and brown hair, and approximate measurements provided in public profiles. She follows a vegan diet though she has mentioned occasional indulgences. Outside of pageants she practices CrossFit, participates in various sports, and has expressed a long-term interest in entrepreneurship; she has said she would like to start a software company or open a health and fitness club.

Her personal life is presented publicly as unmarried. Family details include her parents, Santiago Meza and Alma Carmona, and sisters Mariana Meza Carmona and Karen Meza. She is an animal lover and owns a pet dog named Mia. Meza has served as an ambassador of tourism for Chihuahua and has described a personal motto about remaining open to new ideas.

Latest updates
Meza’s pageant victories — Miss Mexico 2017, first runner-up at Miss World 2017, Mexicana Universal 2020, and Miss Universe 2020 — mark the major milestones of her public career to date. After earning her software engineering degree and starting work in that field in 2017, she continued to develop her modeling and public-speaking profile through national and international competitions. She continues to promote fitness, tourism for her home state, and professional ambitions in technology and wellness.

Despite the public attention around her titles, Meza has described personal challenges such as pushing herself too hard and working to find balance so she can enjoy her pursuits.
