Madison Sara Anderson Berríos (born November 10, 1995) is a Puerto Rican-American model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2019. She will represent Puerto Rico in the Miss Universe 2019 competition.
Early life
Anderson was born on November 10, 1995 in Phoenix, Arizona to an American father, Adam Anderson, and a Puerto Rican mother, Belinda Berríos.[1][2] She relocated with her family to Orlando, Florida when she was three months old, and later graduated from Dr. Phillips High School.[3][4] After graduating from high school, Anderson began studying fashion design and textiles at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City; she has since begun studying marketing and public relations.[5][6] Anderson previously worked in Saint Kitts and Nevis, helping women who were domestic violence victims.[7]
Pageantry
Anderson began her pageantry career as a teenager, placing as the fourth runner-up at Miss Florida Teen USA 2014.[6] Afterwards, she won the right to represent Puerto Rico in the Top Model of the World 2015 competition where she placed as fourth runner-up to the eventual winner Elena Kosmina of Ukraine. Afterwards, Anderson was crowned Miss Grand Puerto Rico 2016. As Miss Grand Puerto Rico, Anderson placed as the third runner-up in Miss Grand International 2016, behind eventual winner Ariska Putri Pertiwi of Indonesia.[5][8]
After Miss Grand International, Anderson went on brief hiatus from pageantry until competing in Miss Florida USA 2019. She placed as the first runner-up behind winner Nicolette Jennings, who went on to place in the top ten of Miss USA 2019. Anderson later entered the Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2019 competition, representing the municipality of Toa Baja. On June 13, 2019, Anderson went on to win the competition, succeeding Kiara Ortega.[9][10] During the competition, Anderson garnered controversy as she was not raised in Puerto Rico, and did not have complete fluency in the Spanish language; during the question and answer portion of the competition, Anderson asked a judge to repeat the question, stating that Spanish was not her first language and she could not understand what he had said, eliciting boos from the audience. As Miss Universe Puerto Rico, Anderson won the right to represent Puerto Rico at the Miss Universe 2019 competition.[11][12]
