Pageantry
Miss Indonesia 2022
Audrey began her beauty pageant career by representing North Sulawesi at the Miss Indonesia 2022 pageant, held on 15 September 2022 at RCTI+ Studios in Jakarta after the 2021 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8]
In the Top 5 round, Audrey was asked by judge Liliana Tanoesoedibjo about the meaning of the Beauty with a Purpose title carried by Miss Indonesia. She answered that the title is more than a crown, as it requires responsibility to use one's voice to help people in need.[9]
At the end of the competition, Audrey was crowned by the outgoing titleholder Carla Yules of South Sulawesi. She became the second contestant from North Sulawesi to win the Miss Indonesia title after Kristania Virginia Besouw in 2006.[10]
In addition to winning the competition, Audrey also received the Miss Talent and Miss Social Media fast-track awards, becoming the first contestant in Miss Indonesia history to win both categories in the same edition.[11]
