Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexis Brooks
Hi Alexis, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started modeling in 2013, my freshman year of college at Valdosta State University. My college roommate asked if I wanted to join her modeling troupe & I spent months learning how to walk in heels and learning how to stride while walking on the runway. Learning those skills allowed me to be more confident as a person, confident while walking & striding in heels, and overall, how to entertain a crowd at a fashion show. From 2013 until now, I have participated in countless fashion shows, hair & beauty shows, TV tapings, expo events, live auctions, etc. Now in 2024, I am a professional runway and print model, looking to book work with brands, designers, photographers, and more.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The modeling journey hasn’t been smooth and I don’t plan for it be. It took a lot of time, energy, having tough skin, learning “no” isn’t the end of the world, learning there are no friends in the industry, and the ability to ignore/avoid outside distractions.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I work as a pricing analyst for a transportation company by day and a professional runway and print model after work and on weekends. I’m most proud of my drive, determination and dedication to becoming a professional booked runway and print model as well as allowing mistakes to happen along the way without being too hard on myself . I think that my drive, consistency, adaptability and great attitude allow me to be set apart from others.
Pricing:
- $60/hr for print modeling
- $75/hr for runway modeling
