I am of Hispanic background, yet I can take on the appearance of many nationalities, depending on my clothing, make-up and hair-style.

I ♥ doing all types of modeling, however I do not do NUDE

Thank you for respecting this point.

I am a very experience and versatile model as you will see from my photo gallery.
I have worked with many photographers and you all know who you are.
With the help of these photographers I have been educated in what it takes to be a great model.
They will tell you that I am dependable and take instructions well.
I am as professional as they get.

I am also looking for sponsors for Cabo!!!

I will be competing in the Ujena Bikini Jam Cabo San Lucas this coming October.
Any sponsorships would be great, and are much appreciated!

At this point, I have decided that unless you are a photographer that helped me get to where I am now I would seriously have to turn down

I do have a few people on my own "wish list" that I will make the rare exceptions for to add something to my portfolio that I do not already have, but that is up to my own discretion.

Please understand that I have hundreds and hundreds of images under my belt and unless you can bring to the table something at the same level or better than what I have already I will provide a rate or simply just decline the offer. Don’t take it personal...

Send me a message for my rates.

If you would like to know more about me or are interested in hiring me, just send me a message!!!

I WILL TRAVEL IF NECESSARY!!!

When will you be in my area to shoot?
I wont, I only travel for modeling work if you fly me out.
I have no problem traveling, in fact I love it but my travel must be paid for (i.e. flight, hotel, transportation to and from airport) I don’t just backpack through the country for free, though I wish I could.
So if you are not in the Southern California area and want to shoot together be prepared I will require travel to be covered.

Thanks for your time and interest!!!

To better myself as a model I took a photography class, so that I could understand what the photographer was talking about.
I also know that modeling is a lot like acting in that facial expressions and body language add to and enhance the photo.

I’ve tried to include at least one photo that will show you my range of modeling.

I am a Ujena Model!!!

With Ujena I've been able to travel to exotic locations, build up my portfolio, and learn from my peers.
I have had the opportunity to sit with top international photographers and models and learn from them, as well as get my foot in the door with the networking companies and sponsors.

I am a California Ring Girl.
I hold up the rounds at BOXING SHOWS and UFC FIGHTS.
I have modeled at numerous CAR SHOWS, BIKE SHOWS, and TRUCK JAMBOREES.
Ranging from LOWRIDER to DUB to HOT IMPORT NIGHTS to PRIVATE CAR SHOWS.
I have traveled with this group all over Southern California, Alabama, Arizona, Nevada, as well as Mexico.

I am a International Allstar Marketing Queen.
I am an umbrella girl.

I have worked several fun and amazing events with this company.
