I am currently a graduate student working toward my PhD in mathematical biology. I had never considered the idea of modeling until earlier this year. I was invited to take part in a modeling contest in Salt Lake City and decided I would give it a try. I had a tremendous amount fun during the photo shoot and felt very natural in front of the camera. I actually ended up ranking very high in the contest which gave me a huge confidence boost!! Where I had originally thought this would be a one time thing, I enjoyed my experience so much that I realized modeling is something I would like to pursue further.
I recently signed with Urban Talent Agency here in Utah and they are in the process of developing me as a model. It is somewhat tedious at times but I love all the new people I am meeting so that makes everything worthwhile to me. To stay fit I bike everywhere rather than drive, I run nearly every day, and lift weights three times a week. I also do different outdoor stuff depending on the time of year.
My agency sets me up with most of the work I get however if you are interested in working with me feel free to contact me on this website and I can have you get in touch with my agent. I mostly do paid shoots but if I really really like your work I would consider doing a TFCD shoot.
With my current job as an instructor at the University I cannot remain out of the Salt Lake City area for more than a few days at a time except during my summer vacations or if you are willing to offer a large amount of money. I have a lot of work in general though my time is relatively flexible so if I know far enough in advance when you need me to be available I can certainly make time. I do not pose nude, though I would consider doing implied nude as long as it is tasteful.
If you are a photographer or another model and think we could work well together I would love to hear from you. So far it seems like the people on this website are extremely nice and helpful. I’m glad this online community exists and is bringing together so much talent. I wish everybody the best!!
