Tell us about yourself.
Hello! My name is Caitlin A. I am 21 years old. I will be a neurosurgeon and am currently a sophomore in college. Last year I was the VP of the Student Government. I also am a member of the Honors College. My biggest passion outside of medicine and humanitarianism is modeling. I grew up in an impoverished small neighborhood in Oklahoma City. I want to show others specifically younger girls that you can achieve your goals if you set your mind. I am so excited to network with others and make lasting memories.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I have been modeling since I was 15 years old. I began working with hobbyist photographers and local clothing brands. Through high school, I gained moderate training and experience with theater specifically acting. In 2021, I began working as a figure model for the Ringling College of Art and Design. This helped me gain confidence in my curation of poses and performance in front of others. This past February, I was hired through a direct booking with a production company for a commercial for a new skincare line. This product is now being sold at Ulta. In April, I modelled for a hair event at the McCurdy Theater in Downtown Sarasota. This was featured on the local news. In May 2022, I was booked for a beauty commercial shoot in Tampa for a new lipstick line.
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream is to work as a neurosurgeon in Liberia and/or Somalia for charity. I want to make a lasting impact on a widescale for third-world countries.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
Beauty comes from two things...
1.) Beauty Sleep. A proper amount of sleep is your best makeup. I promise.
2.) Confidence. Believe in all that you are. Confidence looks beautiful.
How would you describe your fashion style?
My fashion style has a bit of range. I frequently enjoy business casual attire, Y2K, 90s grunge, and various other sub-aesthetics. I read a lot of fashion magazines like Vogue and InStyle. I find some inspiration from that as well.
Who or what inspires you?
Rosalind Franklin (British Chemist), Lady Gaga, and Bella Hadid. Franklin inspires me to be a woman of S.T.E.M., Gaga inspires me to break outside of the box with my self expression, Hadid inspires me to practice modelling and network more frequently.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
Just start doing photoshoots now. You can start at home with a camera. You can practice poses in the mirror. Research things online. Join communities on social media and network with others.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
I was a homeless teenager. From age 15 to 18, I was a homeless youth. I had to work a full-time job starting at 15 while attending high school. I struggled with maintaining a balance and worried for my future. I choose to do the things that scared me anyways. I had to build a life sustainable and independent for myself at an early age. It set me up for success in some ways.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
My ambition and humility is something that my loved ones admire about me. I think that might be true.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
Start collecting a list of different attributes you like about yourself. Pretend that you are the most beautiful/handsome/ coolest person in the room. Eventually it'll become easier to be confident.
