"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day, For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."
-Audrey Hepburn
"What you feel is what you are, and what you are is beautiful" -Goo Goo Dolls
"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly." -Langston Hughes
"They told you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What they failed to tell you is that it is best seen with the eyes closed. What you look like isn't important. What is important is who you are inside and the choices you are making in your life." -Tiana Tozer (1992 paralympic silver and 1996 bronze medalist, women's wheelchair basketball)
*ABOUT ME*
My name is Kara. I am currently an aspiring model and actress from New Jersey. I have been a strong pageant competitor for many years. I have been acting since a very young age. Throughout my life I have performed in many musicals, theatrical productions, and independent films. My love for acting and camera grew throughout the years. Because I loved being on stage, I gave pageants a try. It began as a way to earn scholarship money, but quickly ended up becoming a huge part of my life. Pageants are my Passion! I have had so much fun competing. You get to meet the most amazing girls and have the most amazing experiences. Because of pageants, I have become more outgoing and confident in myself. I am an amazing public speaker and I am comfortable with being myself. (If you can do a swimsuit competition, you can do anything!! haha!)
From pageants, I developed an interest in modeling. It started as a form of pageant competition, but grew into a deeper love. I enjoy being in front of the camera and creating art. Collaboration with photographers is amazing. I love being able to create art with my body. It is an amazing feeling of accomplishment.

*MY INTERESTS*
I would like to expand and show the modeling world what I have to offer. I am looking forward to working with photographers to develop my portfolio. I love to try new things. I love creative work and I am very versatile. I love to try new looks from fun and flirty to bright and punky to dark and mysterious.
I am very interested in fashion, glamour, and swimsuit shots. Mostly, I am interested in fashion photoshoots. I will work hard to bring out the best in your photography and I really think we could bring photography to the next level.
I know that I can offer the modeling industry a welcoming smile, great personality, enthusiasm to succeed, and dedicated work ethic.
I am also very interested in any acting roles. Looking for any commercial talent and extra opportunities.
Talk to you soon! XOXO!
************************************************
***RESTRICTIONS***
I DO NOT do any type of nudity, provocative, or implied shots. I am a beauty pageant competitor and future educator. As a role model to others, this would greatly hinder my goals. I am a bit restrictive on what type of work I will do because I am goal-oriented and know what direction I would like my career and life to go.
