Welcome! I'm a multiple-agency represented (non-exclusive) plus-sized model with a classic hourglass figure {UK 16/18 - US 14}, as well as a trained opera singer and actress. I can travel within reason around Britain IF expenses are paid from York, and can easily get to London. Also, I'm passionate about campaigning for bodies of all shapes, sizes, ages, ethnicities and abilities to be represented in the fashion industry.

In 2012, I'll be shooting often in the US, esp. in the Buffalo/Toronto, Boston/ NYC, Sarasota/ Tampa areas.

I have representation with Mark Summers Casting, Curvy Model Management, Hairy Lemon Productions, Face Model Management, and Agent Models but my payscale is flexible depending on the job and travel costs. Please note I will only work if my travel is covered at the minimum! However, I'll consider interesting, high quality TF work only if there is a MUA and/ or hair stylist involved, or if it's for charity. Saluti a tutti i miei amici italiani!
