About Me


Born in Fremont, California (San Francisco Bay Area), Samantha Davis had a dream at the early age of 5 of becoming a model. As a child, Samantha participated in various small fashion shows, but at the age of 13 she told her parents that she wanted to take it further. Samantha’s parents, having all faith in her decisions in life took the step to enroll Samantha in Barbizon School of Modeling in San Francisco, California. At this school, Samantha learned numerous modeling techniques, and got a clearer insight into the modeling industry. After graduating from Barbizon, Samantha continued her perseverance and attended Lights Camera Action (L.C.A.) in San Francisco, California.
Throughout her teen years she participated in numerous fashion shows. When it came time for Samantha to graduate from high school, she still had the dream of becoming a model. Samantha had a few softball scholarships at various Universities around the country leading all the way to Florida. Samantha chose to pursue her education in Southern California, knowing that she could also pursue her modeling career in this area as well. Samantha also made a promise to her parents that she wouldn’t take modeling too seriously until after completing her education. Samantha kept this promise and after receiving her M.S. in Special Education, B.S. in Liberal Studies and 2 teaching credentials (General and Special Education), she moved to Hollywood, California in order to pursue her dream of becoming a plus-size model.
In December of 2006, Samantha was invited to participate in an event in Las Vegas, Nevada called Model Search America. The date of this event occurred at the same time as an unfortunate occurrence of Samantha’s godmother passing away. Samantha had to make the decision of going to the funeral, or taking the opportunity of meeting numerous agencies. Samantha remembered that her Godmother always wanted the best for her and would rather her remember her as she was. This blessing, led to Samantha meeting an agent in Las Vegas, Nevada (Clear Talent Group (CTG). Samantha completed the numerous acting classes that were asked of her and has now accomplished her goal of becoming a plus-size model, not only that.... acting in commercials and films. One Bible verse that has helped Samantha with being so persistent in life is Philippians 4:13 “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” That is what she lives her life by. Samantha wants to show others that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. As a child, Samantha wasn’t a small girl, and didn’t have many public figures of plus-size to look up to. Through entering the entertainment industry as a plus-size woman, Samantha wants to be a positive example of how you can be beautiful all over, not just have a “pretty face.” :)
