Pageantry

Miss Casanare 2018

In 2018, Avella received the decree that accredited her as the official representative of her Casanare department for the next edition of the Miss Colombia 2018, which would take place in November of the same year in Cartagena. However, the board of directors of the contest, headed by its president, Raimundo Angulo, made the decision to cancel her participation, alleging that the model had a manager and had taken professional photographs that were contrary to the contest regulations. Despite her efforts to clarify the situation, she was ultimately unable to compete in the event.[7][8]

Miss Universe Colombia 2023

In the competition, she stood out as one of the favorite candidates to obtain the title of Miss Universe Colombia, which María Fernanda Aristizabál held at that time.

At the end of the event she became the first winner from Casanare and also the 1st married woman and mom to be crowned as Miss Universe Colombia on the night of September 02, 2023 in Barranquilla, Atlántico. [9][10]
