Pauline has earned her bachelor’s degree in International Studies and major in European Studies at the Cebu Doctors' University in Mandaue City. Pauline has a strong educational background and pageant background as well which makes her a strong contender for Miss Universe Philippines 2023 crown.

Pauline is no stranger to the pageant world as she was crowned Miss Bohol 2017 and Miss JCI Philippines 2017. She also performed well at the finale night of Mutya Ng Pilipinas 2018 while she competed in that also and she won two special awards named Mutyang Zen Institute and Miss Avon Fashion. Pauline Amelinckx was crowned Miss Global Beauty Queen Philippines 2018 during the grand finale of Mutya Ng Pilipinas 2018 on 16th September 2018. She was supposed to represent the country in Miss Global Queen but it didn’t happen due to tension in the Middle East.

Pauline advocates to use art and create a children's colouring book to raise awareness in kids, at an earlier age, regarding the environment they live in where she hopes that the awareness will in turn develop love and a sense of protection in the kids.
