Each class will end with an open Q&A for students to ask anything they wish - and every student will receive personalized, honest feedback, recommendations and tailored steps as a follow up, after the course is complete!Class Experience
We will cover everything from Commercial, Editorial, High Fashion, and more recent “Influencer” & Lifestyle Modeling - to gaining real, practical knowledge about the behind the scenes, in & outs of the actual business side of the Modeling industry. This course is designed to teach one what it really takes to possibly “make it” it as a paid, working Model! *This class is NOT based around doing online photo shoots, teaching poses, runway training, etc.* (though those can also be fun & great!) - this class is all about providing real, factual, insider knowledge as to how one can navigate the notoriously competitive journey to beginning a career in Modeling. There are no guarantees in this business - but as always, knowledge is key! We will cover each type of Modeling and their respective requirements; how to properly research and reach out to Photographers, Agencies, Stylists and the like; how each top “Market” differs and which “type” one has the best chance for success in; learn all about Fashion Week and Fashion “seasons”; find out the real scoop as to what exactly goes into Castings & Go-Sees, learn useful industry vocabulary, tips & tricks; and most importantly - how to be safe, cautious and protect yourself while trying to pursue your dream. ***If you do not see any listed classes, or times that accommodate you & your learner's schedule - please do not hesitate to message me, and/or request a preferred day & time, if interested in taking my class! Thank you :)***

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from The New School (University) in New York, New York; with a double major in Psychology & The Arts and with a minor in Writing. I also happened to take several Fashion courses at Parsons School of Design.
Prior to university, I signed with my 1st Modeling Agency in NYC at 17 (and have been represented in Europe & Africa as well), and have worked with clients such as - Puma, Tommy Hilfiger, Hood by Air, Telfar, Cassette Playa & Netflix; and featured in publications such as Dazed&Confused, i-D, Wonderland, VFiles, Out, Hypebeast, Huffington Post and more.
I took that experience and parlayed it into working a myriad of "behind the scenes" roles in Fashion & Entertainment - as a Stylist and Fashion & Editorial Associate for GQ, WWD, Glamour, and Interview Magazine(s); to working in Production at Warner Bros. Studios; to freelancing in Marketing/Public Relations & Creative Consulting for multiple brands & companies - steadily working in NYC, L.A. & Europe over the last decade!Reviews
