Lindsey Marie Coffey (born January 8, 1992) is an American model, activist, and an international beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Earth 2020.[2][3] Coffey was previously crowned Miss Earth United States 2020, making her the first representative from the United States to win the Miss Earth title.[4][5][6]

Early life and education

Coffey hails from Brownsville, Pennsylvania.[7] Her great grandmother was Italian who immigrated to the United States.[8][9] She claims to be related to Queen Marie Antoinette, the last French queen before the commencement of the French Revolution.[10][11]

She was an honor student and ranked as one of Pennsylvania’s best collegiate high jumpers.[12][13] She graduated with a degree in political science and a minor in communication arts and professional writing, from Washington & Jefferson College.[14][15] During her undergraduate studies, she focused on governmental structures, public policy, and political behavior. She broadened her studies to theatre, rhetoric, journalism, speech performance, as well as studied the art of citizenship in civic and professional society. Her education continued abroad in Italy, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, and Greece.[16]

Career

Coffey works as a full-time professional model.[12][9]

Pageantry

Coffey competed and won the Miss Earth United States 2020 pageant on August 8, 2020.[17] She then represented the United States in the international Miss Earth 2020 pageant and competed with 83 other delegates from various countries which was held virtually due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[18][19][20][21] She succeeded Miss Earth 2019 Nellys Pimentel of Puerto Rico in the final coronation held on November 29, 2020.[18][22][23] She is the first woman from the United States to win the crown since the pageant started in 2001 although past representatives from the United States had placed as elemental titleholders in the previous years.[24][25][26]

Activism

Coffey is a Climate Reality Leader.[27] She raised awareness on water scarcity and advocated ecological restoration, contour farming, rainwater harvesting, and desalination to address the water crisis.[28]

As Miss Earth winner, she conducts media outreach for social causes, asks consumers to buy organic and local foods to reduce carbon footprint.[29] She supports projects such as Adopt-a-Highway, Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, and The Humane Society.[29]
