"Canada's Next Top Model"

In the beginning of the cycle one, Muizelaar was a shy girl, but later on in the competition, the judges saw that she grew into a confident woman. During her makeover, her hair was cut short, and dyed red. During the show, questions were raised about Muizelaar possibly suffering from a eating disorder. Despite this, Muizelaar never appeared in the bottom two, and became "Canada's Next Top Model", winning a modeling contract with Sutherland Models in Toronto, Canada, an editorial spread in "FASHION Magazine", and $100,000 beauty contract with Procter & Gamble. Andrea thanked Tricia Helfer and the judges, which included Jay Manuel, for choosing her, and said to them "I'm gonna make you guys so proud. Honest to God."

After "Canada's Next Top Model"

Muizelaar appeared on the cover of Canadian wedding magazine "SPOSA", which also included a spread. She appeared in CoverGirl campaign ads. Also did a publicity mall tour, after the "CNTM" finale, mostly at Sears stores, but four months after the winning, Muizelaar announced she was leaving the modeling world.

Muizelaar decided to walk away from the fashion industry soon after winning the reality television competition, initially saying that modeling was "not the best thing out there".Tara Marrin.

Ever since leaving modeling, she started to gain back the weight she lost during her eating disorder days. Natalie Alcoba.
