ABOUT TINA
 ince 2002 I have modeled for various trade shows, appeared in print, runways, and film. It all began when, after the discovery of an online modeling website, I pieced together a modeling portfolio and submitted my photos to several talent agencies.
After signing with a local agency, I began working primarily as a spokes model for companies which included Redken, the Gap, and Nextel. Later that year I was hired to model clothing, accessories and swimwear at the Magic Fashion and Apparel show.
I loved my job because it was diverse and allowed me to meet new people and travel to different places. However, as the work offers increased, it began to take up more and more of my time and eventually began interfering with my academic life.
In the spring of 2003 I took a short hiatus from modeling to finish out my high school days. After graduation, I took a 9 to 5 office job which quickly became routine. I missed working in a high energy, interactive atmosphere.

To break they cycle, I decided to pick up where I left off and began working conventions on the side. Within a few short months I started to get swamped again, and in 2004 I finally left my office job to pursue modeling full time.
The next few years were a whirlwind of exciting new experiences for me. I modeled in a Swarzkopf hair show, flew to New York for a fashion shoot, and appeared on the cover of Super Street magazine.

Since then, the stream of steady workflow has not slowed down for me. I've modeled at various trade shows, shot several TV commercials, and even walked the runway at a few fashion shows.
In addition to modeling full time, I am also attending college. I continue to take advantage of opportunities that unfold as each of them proves to be another rewarding experience this industry has to offer.
