I am a young freelance model who has become more passionate about modeling through the years. I would like to focus more on commercial, lingerie, hair, and runway shows. I am dedicated, and I work hard to accomplish what needs to be done. I have been trained by an agency in my younger years. I do have experience from doing local runway shows and working with varies photographers. I hope to full fill your needs as a model, while having fun and working hard! I would like to gain experience, friends, and knowledge through the work of starting a career in modeling. My goal is to persue modeling on the International Level.

I will do limited TFP/TFCD shoots. I am accepting paid jobs.

" Criticism, if you don't tell me, how will I ever become a better model and further my experience? " - Monica Tarasiuk

JUST A NOTE: I will not work with you ever again, if you set up a photoshoot and then cancel without telling me. I am very serious about this. If there is a change, please let me know!
