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!!!

CALLING ALL ASPIRING & PROFESSIONAL MODELS!!!



Hey There!

I live in the Midwest in a predominately commercial market. The modeling industry at the moment is feeling the pinch of the recession like some many other industries.

This is not the time to sit back and wait for your agent to call about an audition or casting.

Let's think outside the box and re-invent yourself!

BACK DOOR MODELING STRATEGIES:

1) Call the hair companies in your area and ask for the Marketing Director. Ask if they are having any model calls for any of their hair products.
2) Check out the party scene in your area and find out who the folks are that are promoting the parties and ask if they need any promotional models.
3) Look at http://www.craigslist.com/ for model listings. Just be careful and always take a buddy with you.

NATIONAL MODELING CONTESTS!!!

This contest ends June 15, 2009 (Act Fast)
Fabulous at Any Age Search -- Essence Magazine
http://www.essence.com/
Star in Next Pantene Ad -- Begins July 1st
Parents Magazine

Why not enter them and see what happens. It's best to have many things going on at once so when this recession turns around which it will, you will already be in prime position.

Enter modeling contests with caution!
I only enter contests that are with major corporations that have been around for some time. There are many fly by night companies popping up on the Internet claiming to make you the Next Top Model so you have to be careful.

Do some research and make sure that the company is legit. You can start by contacting the Better Business Bureau or the Attorney General in your area to see if there have been any complaints against the organization. There's also a site called www.ripoffreport.com

If it sounds to good to be true it probably is! Don't let your desire to get into the modeling industry overshadow your common sense.

I hope this helps!

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