WHEN DID YOUR PASSION FOR MODELING AND ACTING BEGIN?

I’m the baby of 5 kids, so I’ve always loved putting on a show and having the attention. I have always had the big personality, and the love for acting and being in front of the camera. As I started acting when I was little beginning with church and school plays, and eventually started acting in short films. I began my modeling journey when I was 13, however it didn’t last long. Soon after, I got involved with school and sports, and put my goals aside. After High school is when I decided it was time to fully pursue my passion for modeling and acting. Bella Modeling School followed me on Instagram and happen to message me. I then came in for a consultation to learn more about their program

The environment was so welcoming and the staff seemed very honest and wanted to help kick off my modeling/acting career. It was a good fit for me. I came to every class and every open studio. I loved the instructors, they are all encouraging, and want the best for you. They go out of their way to help each student. It’s also evident that they are very knowledgeable about the industry, not to mention they are all signed models.

Bella Modeling opened a lot of doors for me. They taught me how to market myself as a model and actress in the modeling industry, how to freelance model, how to network, what to wear/bring to a model casting in order to be prepared. Bella Modeling provided me with all the materials I needed to be successful in this modeling and acting industry.
