I grew up in Germany and have always had a passion for the stage, acting, dancing and being in front of the camera. Becoming a professional model had been my dream since childhood, and after a well-known make-up artist discovered me on Instagram, I started my modelling career at the age of 19. Before devoting myself fully to modelling, however, I decided to study marketing. After graduating, I focused entirely on my career as a model. Since then I have had the privilege of working with renowned brands, photographers and hair and make-up artists in the industry, both locally and internationally.
Although I have now been working as a model for 6 years, I had to deal with considerable rejection at the beginning of my career. Almost 30 agencies turned me down, but that did not discourage me. Instead, I decided to market myself and acquire clients independently, without an agency behind me. Since then I have had the opportunity to work internationally for renowned brands such as Schwarzkopf, MCM, About You, Breuninger and many more.
My experiences and my individual path have shown me how hard it can be to establish yourself as a model. These challenges inspired me to help others on their way. That is why I created Model One-to-One Coachings by CJ. I want to use my knowledge and my passion to support models in realising their dreams and establishing themselves successfully in the industry.
Beyond that, I have worked intensively on personal development and completed various coachings in order to keep growing and never stand still. This has helped me to stay strong not only physically but also mentally in the modelling industry and to achieve my goals here.
As a full-time model with a hectic lifestyle that includes travelling and long working hours, I have learned to manage business and private life. A healthy, mostly vegan diet and regular workouts are part of my self-care routine, which helps me stay physically fit and mentally healthy.
My personal goal is to show through my platform that it is possible to live your dreams, and to inspire others to do the same. Nothing is impossible!
