I recently graduated from the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, and have made the Vermont area my home for the next few months before leaving for Sub-Saharan Africa. I am a vivacious, personable, and professional young woman who is very interested in working to develop her modeling repertoire and her experience within this varied industry. I feel that I am the exotic version of the girl next door, and am looking for photographers interested in creating unique looks that not only pose a challenge, but result in quality images.

I consider myself someone with excellent interpersonal, communicative and relational social skills. I have a willingness and commitment to work, and desire to interact with and please the client. I am a creative and positive person with invaluable warm and energetic personality. I am characteristically hardworking, organized, and dependable. I am willing to rearrange my currently busy schedule in order to explore new areas in the modeling business and to expand my experiences with new photographers and clients.

I have extensive experience in public speaking, acting, presentation, customer service, and group and leadership situations. I am athletic, eclectic, and energetic qualities that make one want to listen and hear what I have to say.
I am looking for photographers who are out of the ordinary; who consider themselves willing to try things out of the box; who want a gorgeous and unique shot. Currently, I am most interested in those who wish to achieve an arresting shot.

I have a few specific shoots I am interested in creating at the moment, but am always willing to try new ideas. I am very interested in stark black and white headshots, and working with interesting textures and lighting. I would also love to recreate the most recent duplicate of the old Marilyn Monroe beauty shoot, as well as anything that screams glamour and class. I am an experienced kayaker, and would like to create an athletic, gritty shoot from that perspective. I am also very interested in working with local male models in a couples shoot in a more fashion photography setting, creating amusing images with charismatic models.

At your leisure review the following images. I have more work on my FLIKR site at
