My name is Kristy; I'm 23 and I live in Tokyo, Japan. I'm an aspiring model currently signed with a contract with Numa Models locally in Vancouver, but I am on a working holiday at the moment, working with several freelance agency's in Tokyo area.

My spare time goes into modeling, karaoke, writing novels, reading and watching Asian dramas. I love Asian cultures, especially Japanese. I am currently learning the Japanese language, and have been learning the language for about 8 years now, completely self-taught.  I have been to Japan twice before now; I am currently pursuing my dream of becoming a model or gaijin talent in Japan.


Why do you want to be a model?:
"It's taken me a long time to appreciate and love myself. For the longest time I didn't like how I looked, and I honestly thought I was ugly. It's only been recently that I've learned to love myself and finally actually believe people when they tell me I'm gorgeous. Part of me wants to do this for my past self that used to hate the way she looked and let people walk all over her and every bully that ever dragged me down. But I also want others to find self-esteem like I have, and chase their dreams and pursue knowledge, never giving up when things are hard. And what better way to do that than to enter a modeling world. If I can make a career out of feeling good about myself and looking pretty I definitely want to try."

I have a good chunk of experience now, I've done prosthetics and runways work in Vancouver. As well as professional workshops and photo-shoots; so I'm always looking to outdo previous shots and improve my portfolio. And if I could have a chance to possibly work with other creative and talented individuals from around the world, I would be forever humbled by each experience
