I was born and raised in Davenport Iowa, moved to Buffalo/Niagara Falls NY in 1988, were I still live. I attended college for Criminal Justice, but I am currently on a different career path in the health care industry.My interests, hobbies, and activities I enjoy doing: weight lifting, Kwando Spar, Tae Bo, softball, bowling, (yes, bowling), interior design/decorating, archaeology, and watching TV shows with a criminal justice/forensic science format. I began modeling after I was approached by a photographer while on vacation in Jamaica. After some convincing he took some photos, my only expectation was getting some nice photos of myself. About two weeks after I returned from vacation I received a call from him, he told me he showed some of my photos to some of his fellow photographers and got a great response. He also told me at that time that I might want to try modeling professionally, well here I am. My main objective through out my model venture is to have fun. I love to meet new people, and I love to travel. I would really like to focus my modeling in fitness, swimsuit and glamour, but do enjoy all aspects of modeling and the artistic expression unique to each photographer. Melisa Ann
