My Journey from Model to Co-founder

by on

For the past 10 years I've been incredibly fortunate to travel the world as a model! I was discovered at 19 while studying Biology at The University of California San Diego.

Before I knew it, I was on a plane to Paris and walking in my first fashion show for Christian Dior. And so began this exciting journey!

{John Galliano started my modeling career, he hired me for my first campaign! It was so surreal running into my pictures at the Galerie Lafayette in Paris!}

{I lived in Paris for a year before moving to NYC, It was the perfect place to start my career. I learned so much about beauty and fashion!}

I've walked in hundreds of runway shows, including the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for 8 years and have been featured on numerous magazine covers. My passion for beauty sparked as I worked with the industries most talented makeup artists. I learned valuable tips and tricks including how to apply makeup, hide flaws and accentuate your best features. I’ve tried and tested absolutely everything and I know what works! Last year I set my eyes on a new dream, I began developing a beauty experience of my own!

I'm so excited to announce Wander Beauty will be launching in April! As Co-founder and Creative Director, this is an exciting new venture for me and a way for me to share all of my knowledge and travel experiences through beauty! As a model, I have had the opportunity to jet set across the globe, and have been so inspired by the unique fashion & sense of style found in each city. This is the foundation upon which Wander Beauty is built.
