Not new to the pageant world, Kiara was also previously crowned as Miss Teen Aruba International 2017 and Virreina de las Americas at Miss Teen Americas in 2018. With her pageant experience, her stunning beauty and a strong social advocacy, Kiara will definitely be a strong contender for the international crown.

Last year, Thessaly Zimmerman represented Aruba at Miss Universe 2021 and with her stellar performance, she placed in the Top 10. Aruba won a placement at Miss Universe after more than two decades. The country is yet to pioneer its win at Miss Universe.
