January 2018: Well hello again Model Mayhem! After a long hiatus, I am finally back to building and furthering my brand! Please contact me for any collaborations and projects you believe me to be a fit for. I'm a fun, sociable, hard-worker
(If you're wondering where I've been, I've been busy as a fitness professional -managing a gym, instructing boxing/yoga/personal training- as well as working in experiential and field marketing, having managed a program that took up much of my time)

..about work..
Please be aware and note: ~NO NUDE. NO SHEER.
I am, however, open to artistic concepts within reason, obviously to be discussed.
~I may travel with an escort for my own safety, as most models do. I've been told any photographer that denies a model an escort for a 1:1 scenario should make a model wary.
~In most cases I am completely comfortable with doing my own hair and make-up. For more intricate/detailed styles I'm willing to find a MUA/stylist.

..about me..
              Hello, and thanks for viewing my page.
Firstly, I'd like to express that I'd like to show people that short models have worth too. I may not be the general ideal for 'perfect,' but I like to think that something about everyone makes each person unique. Yes, I am not your average runway model, but I bring many other things to the table.
With dozens of photoshoots and counting my experiences have grown in the past year and are only continually progressive; if you like what you see I'd certainly like to discuss the possibilties. I'm obviously not equipped for runway and mostly interested in Print, Promo, Stock, and Commercial/Editorial.
          The people around me consider me to be outgoing and, given my acting experience, I believe I would work well in doing my best to portray the look you're going for. As I think my images represent, I believe I have the ability for diversity with looks. As far as what you see, I would welcome and can take your honesty so long as it's not cruelty; there's a fine line between the two. If you're interested, feel free to contact me with as many details as possible. ** I do own plenty of heels **
