{ COACHING WITH KRISTIN { SHIFT+CONTROL } B. } “Kristin’s support to me throughout the years has been one of the most consistent and positive influences for me. Her coaching and programs re-ignited that drive to do more, and to put your dreams into action.”
You were a featured model in the “Courage to Dream” Women’s Motivational calendar 2020-2021, what was the experience like on photo shoot day and being a part of the calendar launch? The “Courage to Dream” Women’s Motivational calendar, and the launch was an amazing and joyful experience. The whole program was phenomenal. Kristin Bauer-Gross set up the entire event! Her talents extend to coordinating events. There were so many great workshops, speakers, make-up artists, hairstylists, and photographers that all came together for this special day. It truly was a very motivational and uplifting event. Jessica Lahr from Geneva, NY did my make-up that day, and she is such a talented, kind, intelligent woman. I wish I could have her do my make-up every day. Between her and my hairstylist for that day, I felt like a super model! My hairstylist Cindy Scribani was professional, kind, and very talented! She made my hair look so amazing that day! Combine those 2 talented artists, and the one-ofa-kind magic that Mark Knopp provides in his photography business, and you get the highest quality and gorgeous pictures that anyone could ever ask for. What is your dream assignment if you could do or accomplish anything in 2021? My dream assignment for 2021 is to be featured in a commercial and in a print campaign. I have been working hard towards this goal. I have faith that my hard-work and guidance from the TMT Agency and 220

What are three pieces of advice you’d like to give someone just getting started in modeling? First, I would suggest taking some classes or programs and having a coach, mentor, or teacher to prepare you for the exciting and ever-evolving career of a model or actress. If you live in upstate NY, Kristin Bauer-Gross is a go-to but everyone is different and it is important to find someone you feel comfortable working with. Remember, you are worth investing in, and you are worthy of your dreams. It is never too early in your career to start building your team and support system.
To every woman or man out there who is dreaming of being a model or actor, or anything else for that matter, please don’t ever give up on your dreams! You’re never too old, or tall, or short, or any of the other doubts or lies you may be telling yourself. You are good enough--you are more than good enough! Modeling and acting is a very diverse profession, and they are seeking talent of every type. Get started today with your dreams and reach for the stars. Nothing is unattainable if you’re willing to work hard for it and put the time and effort into it--you can achieve anything!
Second, I would suggest having new photos taken to update your portfolio and to help you get comfortable in front of a camera. If you live in a small market like upstate, central, or western NY then you will be looking for commercial style photos.
