Nadege Elena Herrera Vásquez, (born 17 November 1986), is a Panamanian model and beauty pageant titleholder. Her career started in 2004 when at age 17, she joined Panama's leg of the Ford Supermodel of the World contest, called "Chica and Chico Modelo". After this competition, Nadege won the "World Casting Tour" held that same year, winning a $10,000 contract with modeling agency Wilhelmina in New York.[1]
Her modelling experience helped her land some of Panama's major advertising campaigns and editorials, making her one of the most popular models in the country, both in runway and photography. In 2005, she travelled to Hong Kong to compete in the Miss Model of the World contest.[2] She has also won a small pageant held in Ecuador.[3]
In 2007, Herrera was selected as a finalist in the reality show Supermodel Centroamérica, hosted by Costa Rican top model, former Miss Asia Pacific International and Miss World Costa Rica, Leonora Jiménez. Upon her return to Panama, she continued working as a runway and print model.
