Summary
I am a retired Educator and Corporate Sales and Marketing Manager seeking to use my overall skills and experience to now work as a Modeling Scout and Agent.
Over the past 5 years, I have improved my health and fitness through physical fitness training. While honing my skills at the gym, I have met so many people who have inspired me to act as a motivational mentor. I started talking to the many individuals about what will they do with all of the work that they do at the gym I asked what about modeling or marketing. Many were interested but did not understand the ways and means of the business. I did my research and put together a marketing card, of the leading modeling companies in Los Angeles. I have been motivating others to get their portfolios completed. My goal is to secure a position with a reputable modeling and marketing agency.
It is my hope that I can inspire and find new talent around the Los Angeles Metro area to help them to realize their dreams in sports modeling, fashion modeling, fitness and marketing opportunities.
