In college, I began my studies in nursing, completing several clinicals and gaining extensive experience in patient care. I worked on the surgical reconstruction floor of a hospital for over a year as a nurse extern, often floating to the emergency room, my favorite unit. The combination of adrenaline and caring for a person&#8217;s holistic health gave me a rush and satisfaction, unlike any other job I&#8217;ve ever had. Although I was accepted into medical school during undergrad, I decided not to pursue it. However, I remain passionate about healthcare and currently provide home healthcare to various patients in New York City. I hope to continue my education in the medical field as time progresses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Share a bit about your background and upbringing.<\/strong><br \/>\nI was blessed to be adopted, and I have been lucky to have gotten to know my biological family over the years. I&#8217;ve grown close to my biological family, with my adoptive parents fully supporting these relationships. I cherish the bonds with my cousins, siblings, grandparents, and parents. My life has been defined by the sacrificial and selfless love of my biological mother, who wanted to give me the best life possible, and my adoptive parents, who took me in and raised me with immense love. I am extremely grateful for the gift of life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 An issue or cause you are passionate about:<\/strong><br \/>\nI believe every human has a right to healthcare, regardless of class, race, religion, or any other demographic factor. Partnering with various organizations, such as Momentum Global in the slums of Kolkata, India, ignited a passion in me for supporting those deemed &#8216;untouchable.&#8217; I met Raahithya Acharya, a sick man ostracized due to his family name and class. He was lying on the floor of his 8&#215;9 house, which he shared with his family of five. Raahithya had been feverish for weeks, needing only an IV with various medicines to recover. Unable to work, his family&#8217;s survival was dependent on his recovery, but as a low-caste individual, he couldn&#8217;t access healthcare. Millions are in Raahithya&#8217;s situation, and millions are dying. Additionally, countless children are being sold into human trafficking to pay off family debts and medical expenses. This is a global issue, not confined to slums in developing communities. Human trafficking and discrimination based on race, religion, and gender is a multi-trillion-dollar industry affecting neighborhoods worldwide. Thus, I am passionate about advocating for the voiceless. Having been fortunate enough to grow up without facing such discrimination, I feel it is our duty to serve those who are marginalized. Love is patient, kind, whole, and free; I strive to show this to everyone I encounter. I aim to be a beacon of hope for those who feel they are lost, for those who the world has claimed as worthless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-72552 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_libbytaverner03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Libby Taverner\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_libbytaverner03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-72563\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-72563'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Libby Taverner\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_libbytaverner01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Libby Taverner\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_libbytaverner01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-72564\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-72564'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Libby Taverner\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_libbytaverner04.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Libby Taverner\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_libbytaverner04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-72562\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-72562'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Libby Taverner\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Libby<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/libby-taverner\">Libby Taverner<\/a> \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/libbytaverner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@libbytaverner<\/a> \u2014 Australia from Perth, Western Australia \u2014 born June 6th \u2014 178 cm \/ 5&#8217;10&#8221; \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/Viviens-Model-Management-Sydney\">Vivien&#8217;s Model Management (Sydney &#8211; mother agency)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/Premier-Model-Management\">Premier Model Management (London)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What&#8217;s a favorite book\/movie\/TV show, and why do you love it?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favourite TV show is Gossip Girl.

I was with another two 6-year-olds and a 4-year-old, so we had no clue how to put the bar down. Our older siblings were like two chairs behind us and were yelling out to us to put the bar down, but we just thought they were waving and saying hello, so we just smiled and waved back at them. Fortunately, we made it safely up the chair lift, but it could&#8217;ve been a different story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-72552 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_seungminhong03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Seungmin Hong\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_seungminhong03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-72566\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-72566'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Seungmin Hong\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_seungminhong04.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Seungmin Hong\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_seungminhong04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-72565\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-72565'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Seungmin Hong\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_seungminhong02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Seungmin Hong\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2024\/06\/mdcselects_seungminhong02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-72567\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-72567'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Seungmin Hong\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Seungmin<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nSeungmin Hong \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/itshongtime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@itshongtime<\/a> \u2014 Korean from Seoul, South Korea \u2014 born June 13th \u2014 188 cm \/ 6&#8217;2.5&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/model-directors-management\">Model Directors Management (Seoul &#8211; mother agency)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/the-claw-models\">The Claw (Paris)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/the-claw-milan\">The Claw (Milan)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are 3 interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
