About Me

I began my career at the age of 15 and worked in the industry as a print model for many years. I was a national spokesperson for a major hair care line and I participated in many hair shows across the country. I even taught teenagers how to look like a model and get into the business at one of the popular modeling schools. After many years in corporate America, I decided to transition back into the modeling industry. A lot has changed since my departure but with the knowledge that I have acquired through the years, I am kicking the doors down. I signed with 4 agencies in less then a month and I want to help you do the same. At this point in my life, I want to help all those aspiring models break into the industry. Your success is my success. So put on your seat belt and let's go!!!

ARE YOU MODEL MATERIAL?


Lights, Camera, Action!

Do you have aspirations to become a model?

The modeling industry attracts many different types of people. Kids, Teens, Adults, Singers, Actors, Dancers, Make Up Artists, and Fashion Designers to name a few. Most celebrities used modeling to catapult them into the mega stars that they are today.

It is not all about looks. Looks can be intimidating and sometimes that doesn't sell products/services. Beauty is skin deep and starts from within.

I've been in and around the industry for the past 20 years. I am here to tell you that the industry is not all glamorous like most people think. While modeling is very lucrative, it also is very demanding and a lot of hard work. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

Below is a test and if you can honestly answer yes to these questions consider yourself model material.

1) Can you handle rejection?
2) Do you arrive on time/early to appointments?
3) Do you have great follow up skills?
4) Are you organized?
5) Are you patient?
6) Do you have a great personality?
7) Are you flexible?
8) Are you tech savvy?
9) Do you have at least one great asset/feature?
10) Do you get along well with others?

Models deal with so much and rejection is the biggest thing you'll encounter in the modeling industry. If you have the support, desire and passion to model you can do it. Surround yourself with positive people and network with people that are in the modeling industry.

I hope this helps!

As always if you have any questions, please let me know.
