consisted of a commercial, a double page<br />

spread in GQ magazine, and billboards in<br />

South Africa and the UK. So far in my<br />

career, I've done a lot of catalog work for<br />

Macy's, Target, Sears, Kmart, I've appeared<br />

on the Martha Stewart show, did an<br />

editorial spread for DNR magazine, and a<br />

Nivea ad just to name a few of my<br />

accomplishments.<br />

In March of 2008, I decided to walk into<br />

Ford one day and got picked up on spot! I<br />

signed with the Lifestyle division of Ford<br />

Models. So far things are going great! I've<br />

had a lot of direct bookings and done some<br />

pretty amazing jobs.<br />

In March of this year, I just launched my<br />

own website www.modelclue.com, created<br />

specifically to reach out to aspiring models,<br />

photographers, makeup artist etc to allow<br />

them to network with each other and learn<br />

first hand the good and bad of the fashion<br />

industry. My goal is to teach and inform<br />

people on the things I wish I knew starting<br />

out.<br />

My advice to anyone wanting to get<br />

involved in this industry would be to do<br />

your research first! Study the game...know<br />

your market. Keep at it no matter what<br />

other people say...find out for yourself. And<br />

always stay true to yourself..don't<br />

compromise for NOTHING and don't settle<br />

for anything. In this industry a lot of people<br />

think models can be bought with a "price"<br />

meaning compromising things that you<br />

don't want to do just to get ahead. But at<br />

the end of the day It's just not that serious!<br />

Never sell yourself short....<br />
