My name is Jessica, and I am a First Nations and Laotion model residing in Vancouver, BC.

I started modeling in mid 2013, taking on as many photoshoots possible and going in every which direction I could. I've been agency represented, and have been in numerous fashion shows, ECO Fashion Week and Vancouver Fashion Week included. I've taken part in a couple of music videos, and I have a number of years of experience working as a background performer in film and television.

After taking almost a year off from modeling, I've come back into it with new resolve, fresh inspiration, and a way of approaching things with a broader outcome in mind. I'm not exactly "in it to win it"- I'm happily dabbling in creativity with like-minded individuals hoping to make art and explore new ideas. Along the way, it'd be pretty fantastic if I were to raise awareness of First Nations issues and get more involved in my community, but I digress.

I'm currently available for shoots in the Vancouver and Vancouver Island area. I'm willing to travel to the island if you are a photographer, designer, or hair/makeup artist I'm dying to work with, or if you cover my travel fee. On occasion, I do get antsy to travel even a little, so if I randomly decide to swing by your area I'll mention it at the top of this bio.

My availability usually lands on weekday evenings, or throughout Thursday and Sunday.
I have a small tattoo on my upper chest (currently fading with tattoo-removal procedures), some scars here and there, and my nose and ears are pierced.
