Name: Michelle Aboukhaled
Age: Seventeen
Agency: Lmodelz
Where are you from?
Atlanta, Georgia.
How and when did you start modeling?
I started modeling when I was fifteen. I was searching the web all over on how to become a professional model. I stumbled over the queen of poses, Coco Rocha’s instagram, where she was hosting her model boot camp. Soon after this I signed to my mother agency LModelz in Indianapolis, IN.
What’s the most surprising thing you have discovered about modeling?
One thing that I have learned is that you have to understand rejection before you end up in the right place. There could be several no’s, but it all leads up to the one yes that could really start up someone’s career.
What is your favorite way to get model-ready?
My favorite way to get model ready is to take care of myself. Having a nice skincare [routine], long bath, and doing a workout makes me feel ready and prepared as a model.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
I see myself continuing to grow in modeling, and experience new job opportunities. I see myself traveling around the world doing something I love with my parents supporting me the whole time, and pushing me to reach my goals even further.
