Winner of a "Supermodel of the year" contest from the 80s or 90s that went nowhere

I remember reading an article about this young (at the time) teen that won a Supermodel of the Year contest, but couldn’t “take” a picture. She as described as having a “deer in the headlights” look about her. She was lovely, and very tall, but awkward. She had a “Van” in her name, I think, and her first name was something like Erika, but that’s not it.

This is bothering me…help?

Wikipedia lists a Joanna Van Trees from 1985, but when I google that name nothing really comes up…odd.
