About Me


Monica came into the American modeling industry through a photographers belief that she has a potential to create striking photos.
So curious about what Florida can offer her,
she emailed her pics and stats to a local agency as the photographer VAN TRAN insisted,and surprisingly got a callback immediately.
They signed her on the spot and soon shes been booking job after jobs and going to tons of castings.
All these, while doing school and working a regular job,she models part time.
But with the overwhelming project she gets,she thought maybe she could bring it to the next level.
Having a past of joining Ford's Supermodels of the World search in the Philippines and landed as one of the top 7 in her country,she then dreamt of being a FORD MODEL.Randomly,
she drove with a friend to Miami as soon as she found out there were tons of agencies there and had a better market.However,with all the things stopping her on the way there--car issues,not hitting the time quota,a supposedly speeding ticket,ran low on gas,getting lost in the city-- all these didn't stop her from getting what she wanted.
With having only 15 minutes,that 5 minutes took her to first agency that they found(out of 6 agencies on her list)--its like FAITH TOOK HER TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
It was FORD AGENCY!! She then spent TEN MINUTES sitting on their agency office and waiting for their decision,she was led to the Office Manager Diane K.
and there she signed her Ford Contract.Monica now travels back and forth from Tampa to Miami with the chances of getting flown to Chicago as Ford Chicago is showing interest on her.
She still models in Tampa with her model colleagues hitting every fashion show that comes to the area.
Designers after designers book her on their shows.Aside from that,
she has graced the pages of Bealls Catalog and has been shown on HSN and has made twice an appearance on DAYTIME NBC for LA Designer Carolyn Vaile and Celebrity Designer Indashio.This young and hardworking model has only started and will go a long way as she now wants to walk more runways especially for designer Ralph Lauren.
She's got one motto that keeps her going.
And that is.." Modeling is like hitting the lottery and when you have that much money,share it and put it in a good use!
" Her good heart wants to have a Charity to fight poverty and sickness as well as being pro education for those who are in need.
