About my company

MMA/Model Management Agency is a 23 year old full service model and talent agency in the Philadelphia area. MMA books models and talent for print, runway, on-camera work, TV, film, commercials, industrials, Voice-overs, trade shows and promotional work. MMA represents about 500 models and talent from the ages of 4- 80 and is well respected as a solid agency with excellent talent and service.

I chose this career path because

It seemed to choose me. One thing led to another. As doors opened, I went through and gave my best to each opportunity which often led to another opportunity.

I prepared for this career by

I prepared for my career by obtaining my degree in Psychology and Dance at Temple University. I modeled part time through college and choreographed fashion shows. I was also working part time as a makeup artist while in school and a few years after. Out of college, I ran a local John Casablancas Model and Career Center then started to take models to NY and was told ' I had a good eye for talent.'

The biggest challenge I've overcome

The challenge I now face with this industry has been the change in the economy. There are fewer clients that book consistently in the Philadelphia area.

My greatest strength(s)

I love to see people succeed. I am a people person and my strengths lie in my ability to care about others and want the best for them. In all things and with all people, I look for a win-win for everyone involved.

My greatest accomplishment to date

My greatest accomplishment to date personally, has been raising my daughter.  She is a lovely and happy child. Professionally, it has been starting a model and talent agency in a small market and have it grow to be one of the most respected agencies in the area. 

My personal/professional goals

My vision for the future is to be able to give more models and talent the ability to follow their dreams and book more work locally and nationally. I also hope to open more doors for our models and talent in every market!

Personally, I also want to sudying a variety of healing modalities and take healthy cooking classes.

What/Who has inspired me the most

Seeing the joy in others as they succeed has been a great inspiration.

 I also wish to express that my mother and father have been supportive and inspiring to me through the years. My mom watches over me from Heaven and I am blesssed to still have my dad at age 92.

I most want to be known/remembered for

I most want to be remembered for being a caring and nurturing woman who has helped others follow their dreams and for having honored my connection with God.

I participate in the following organizations/memberships

I am a member of FGI/Fashion Group International, Philly Ad Club and ADCP ( Art Directors Club of Philadelphia)

I support the missions of these charities/volunteer my time

I have often volunteered my time at my daughters school events.

I enjoy the following hobbies/interests

In my spare time, I enjoy meditation, supporting my daughter in her activities and dinner with friends. I love to read and take long walks. I go the gym at least 3-4 times a week and cook and eat an all natural diet.
