Pluses: You have an eye catching look. Good camera connection too.
Your best useful shot: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140304/00/53158c6f1b34a_m.jpg
Recommendations:
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140304/00/531588734cc68_m.jpg but you should keep your head straight. https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140224/10/530b924847d7c_m.jpg but you shouldn't have that smirk. You look like someone just tickled you. Are you shooting fashion or not?
Challenges: Tendencies in posing incompatible with genre
Your Work focus: Still discovery stage
What I like: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140530/14/5388fb1bcbd93_m.jpg
What to delete: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140622/18/53a781ebd828a_m.jpg put it on Facebook, the guy is an eye sore (sorry) You look also fat in that swim suit.
This  https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140531/22/538abccd8d64e_m.jpg belongs to a photographer's port, in any case your hair look bad in it.
Next Step: Add some swimsuit and diversify.
Verdict: You'll do OK if you work on your posing and body language.

Nothing earth shattering, your port is full of facebook style snapshots.
will not even inspire anybody to test you.
Your next photo shoot should include some action or show off some additional skills you may have.
If not do a suit and tie look business executive look.

What I like: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140623/10/53a8640ec57ef_m.jpg spontaneous feel
Bottom line: Focus on serious projects and gather a team.
Good luck
