Kiana Jewel has<br />
lived her whole<br />
life in the Australian<br />
beachside<br />
tourist town of Byron<br />
Bay. Growing up in<br />
such a beautiful beachside<br />
location, she naturally has a<br />
strong affiliation with the ocean<br />
and regularly enjoys surfing with family<br />
and friends.<br />
Kiana developed a love of acting<br />
early in life, and this love sparked her<br />
interest and curiosity in the world of<br />
modelling. Encouraged by a family<br />
friend to explore her modelling potential,<br />
when an opportunity arose, she<br />
took it. In May last year, Kiana attended<br />
a Country Girl Management (CGM)<br />
event, a model search competition<br />
that doubles in confidence-building<br />
and body positivity.<br />
She went along curious to see<br />
if she enjoyed modelling and if she<br />
wished to pursue this later in life. It<br />
turned out to be a wonderful<br />
introduction as the CGM team<br />
are so supportive and nurturing of<br />
all the young women who attend.<br />
Two significant things happened at<br />
this event. The first one was that Kiana<br />
discovered that she absolutely<br />
loved everything about the experience<br />
- the photoshoot, the catwalk, learning<br />
about the industry and meeting<br />
amazing girls and women. The second,<br />
which came as a major surprise, was<br />
that she won the junior model search<br />
for that event.<br />
She was invited to attend the<br />
CGM National final event, returning<br />
six months later and ended up winning<br />
the Junior section of the CGM Australian<br />
Model search. She is now represented<br />
by Country Girl Management<br />
and is featured on their website as one<br />
of the CGM “2018 Faces”. Kiana now<br />
has a contract with the highly respected<br />
modelling agency, CHIC Brisbane.<br />
Kiana is determined to pursue a professional<br />
career in acting and modelling.<br />
She aspires to be signed by agents<br />
in all states of Australia and also internationally.<br />
She is supported by CGM to develop<br />
her career and to attain this<br />
goal. Kiana cannot wait until she<br />
turns 16 when she<br />
can start to attend<br />
castings for adult<br />
work.<br />
