by CS on Aug.24, 2010, under Models
so tell us about your u background?,
EM: I’m an exotic model, actress and dancer with a mix of Puerto Rican and Filipino borned and raised in Queens NY. Currently residing in downtown Manhattan, I’ve been modeling now for 7 years and I’ve done everything from promotional modeling, online magazine & catalogs, calendars music videos, short films and live shows! I’m currently a proud member of CheRyl and The BAD girls, as well as LESGO Entertainment. I’m living life to it’s fullest and loving every minute of it!
. which person has influenced you the most in modeling?
EM: I find that most petite models or the ones that don’t fit the industry standard height requirement inspire me the most such as Adriana Lima and Kate Moss. But I would have to say who influenced me the most in the start of my modeling career was model, Lisa Wills. She set me up on my first photo shoot and showed me how to pose and even found me some modeling jobs. Currently CheRyl Martinez, CEO of Big Apple Dancers, influences me the most today. Not only does she model, act, sing and dance but she owns her own modeling company as well as her own accessory store. CheRyl showed me that your career doesn’t have to just stop at modeling it can go beyond and as far as you want to take it, she is extremely talented, a true entrepreneur and a great friend. 
. how did you go about building your career?
EM: I started building up my modeling career by doing promotional modeling first, mostly with brand name liquors. I would get gigs at various clubs, lounges, and private events in the tri-state area. Then I started doing promotional modeling at car shows. At the same time I was introduced to being in music videos and participate as an extra in short films. Once I did my official first photo shoot, and saw the results I was hooked. Soon after I joined various modeling sites, to promote myself as a model and my career just took off!!!
. how may magazines have you shot for and who they were with(if any)?
EM: Magazines I have shot for are Urban Biker Magazine and FMA Magazine. I was featured in the Queens Tribune Newspaper and the following calendars, Faces of Change 2006, Ms. January and Cover of Exotic Car Calendar 2008, as well as Proline Car Studio Calendar 2009.
Whats one thing that people dont know about you that you can tell?
EM: I think the one thing that people don’t know about me is how unselfish I am. I’m always more concerned about others well being over mine. If I know that others around me are ok, then I’m content.
Were do you see your self in the next 5 years
EM: In the next 5 years, I see myself advancing even further as model and dancer. I will be stronger and more prominent in this industry and I’m hoping I can share all my experiences and tips with other aspiring models that are trying to get their foot in the door.
.were can people contact you for any upcoming events and Bookings?
EM: You can find me on www.bigappledancers.com for bookings for modeling & print work and if you want to see the HOTTEST show in NYC, book CheRyl and the BAD girls to perform at your next venue or private event. We perform all over the city with LESGO Ent, so not only will you get to see me, but you will also get to see some of the most hottest models, and the most talented artists in the industry!!!
