I was formerly a model appearing on magazine covers, book covers, romance novels, and album covers (I am the Salsoul Orchestra Model and Cover Girl). I have also appeared in national ads and catalogs as well as in TV commercials.
This is the iconic Salsoul Orchestra poster that I posed for as a model.
