Amelia Tu

Born in the city of Montreal, Quebec and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Amelia is a 21-year-old Chinese-Canadian currently pursuing a simultaneous program in Biology and Business at the University of California, Berkeley. She is deeply passionate about sustainability and spreading environmental awareness.

She is a entrepreneur who has her own company and two organic lines of clothes and skin care – AMELIA TUU BRANDS – and she is a member of the national women business owner association.

Through her business and Organic Brands she wants to encourage everyone to spread awareness of environmental issues and promoting eco-friendly lifestyle reminding us that environmental sustainability is the responsibility to conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems to support health and wellbeing, now and in the future.

As the front cover of Avessa Magazine’s Summer 2021 issue, she discusses her journey of realizing this passion and how she is planning on achieving her goals.

Although she has a vast variety of interests, her all-time favourite hobby would have to be exploring different genres of dance. In fact, Amelia has been dancing since the age of 3 and won the gold medal at the International Models & Talent (IMTA) Dance Competition. She has also previously competed in Rose Queen and Princess Pageant hosted in Oregon State and was crowned the 2020 Miss Chinese Rose Princess.

Amelia represented Canada at the Miss Universe 2022 pageant in New Orleans, Louisiana where she placed on the top 16.
