Andrea Muizelaar (born February 10, 1987) is a former Canadian fashion model. Muizelaar was the first winner of the reality TV show Canada's Next Top Model.

Before winning the competition, Muizelaar worked as a cashier in her hometown of Whitby, Ontario,[1] and attended George Brown College in Toronto, Ontario for Hotel Management.

[edit] After Canada's Next Top Model

Muizelaar decided to walk away from the fashion industry soon after winning the reality television competition, initially saying that modelling was "not the best thing out there".[2] It was eventually revealed that it was due to her struggles with anorexia, noting that there was pressure to remain skinny, as she was often told "how good [she] looked at my skinniest". Ever since the show ended, Andrea has gained a significant amount of weight. [3] Additionally, although she initially stated that she booked most of the jobs she went for,[2], she then stated that winning the show actually brought her few opportunities,[4] and also noted that the winnings were subject to income tax.[3][4][5]
