Raiza Erlenbaugh

She also participated in the Miss Continentes Unidos 2014 pageant in Ecuador, where she stood out by showcasing Panama's rich cultural heritage and took second place in the National Costume Gala[2].

After her career in beauty pageants, Erlenbaugh turned to anthropology, becoming a licensed anthropologist specializing in the study of Panama's pre-Hispanic past.

She graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology from the University of Panama, being a member of the honorary chapter of Sigma Lambda.

In 2024, Erlenbaugh published his first book, Catalog of Pre-Hispanic Ceramics, Cerro Juan Díaz, Panama (200 BC–1550 AD)[5].

This comprehensive educational tool provides invaluable archaeological data to both researchers and the general public, offering new perspectives on the pre-Hispanic history and culture of Panama.
