United States

I was a teen fashion model in the 80's for a large department store and discovered by Seventeen magazine in 1985 through a nationwide model search. Before glamor shots hit the shopping malls I was already modeling for several portrait photographers who were interested in cashing in on the next big American craze. In college I worked as a glamor model used to help launch Glamor Portrait Studios in malls across the country. I did the beauty pageant scene as well, but then stopped modeling and pageants when I graduated college and moved to Eastern Europe to work with children and the blind effected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. After my experience there I went on to get my masters and I'm currently pursing a PhD. My main focus is my work in the field of social science and modeling now is just a hobby that I enjoy doing with my husband. In return, he has taught me the skill of photography.
