Dominican Republic<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethnic Origin:<\/strong><br \/>\n100% Dominican and proud of it<\/p>\n<p><strong>Birthsign:<\/strong><br \/>\nAquarius<\/p>\n<p><strong>How discovered:<\/strong><br \/>\nI had a neighbor who was a model at Luis Menieur in the Dominican Republic; she told my mom there was an open casting on the 13\/05\/2017 for new faces. I went to the casting, and he went crazy about me hahaha! A couple of weeks later I was placed with Viva.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your first modeling job?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy first job was my first show for Christian Dior! I was a bit nervous, my legs were a bit shaky, but before going to the runway I prayed and it all was even better than I ever dreamed! I never thought I could ever be in a place like this, it was magical!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite things:<\/strong><br \/>\nI love dancing, can\u2019t live with my phone and I like Instagram very much :$ But the most important thing is my family and spending time with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt has to be happy and moving music; Ozuna is my favorite at the moment!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong><br \/>\nI love romantic movies; I would say my favorite movies are Forrest Gump and Pride And Prejudice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong><br \/>\nFavorite scent\u2026 at the moment \u201cGood Girl\u201d from Carolina Herrera and Victoria\u2019s Secret splashes. A favourite designer? Hard to choose!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were you doing before modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nStudy, study and study!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you be doing if you weren&#8217;t modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nAgain, studying :) I would love to go to university, but I\u2019m not sure what I would study\u2026 maybe medicine? Hahaha<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong><br \/>\nHave you heard about eating fries with vanilla ice cream? People say it\u2019s horrible but I love it! Also Oreo cookies with peanut butter\u2026 strange but delicious!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think it was a shoot I did in Barcelona; it was the first time a photographer told me to move however I wanted; I was free to move in front of the camera playing silly, moving, jumping\u2026 it was crazy fun!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt has to be the people; their energy, their smile\u2026 oh, and the food for sure!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt has to be working with the master Steven Meisel. Wow! Can you imagine?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place you would love to visit:<\/strong><br \/>\nBora Bora is a promise I have with my cousin. And Greece with my mom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently you&#8217;re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong><br \/>\nI can\u2019t get off my mind the way I had my hair before, hahaha! It was curly and I love it! Working on that ;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><br \/>\nAlways be positive (by my mum), everything can happen (I saw it in a movie, can\u2019t remember where\u2026) and always believe in yourself\u2026 this was something I realized after all the good things that have happened in my life :)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nayeli, 17, from Santo Domingo, likes Pride and Prejudice, fries with ice cream, and Ozuna.
