Who
is the Karamel?
Karamel is the epitomy of classy, sex appeal, and determination.
My grandmother named me this when I was a child. She was
Dominican and African American and she spoke fluent Spanish,
so she often called me Baby Karamela for my skin complexion.
The name is in honor of her. |

How
did you get started modeling?
I
began as a singer first. I needed photos for my singing career
so I had a photoshoot, posted photos of me on musecube, and
the rest is history!! |
| |
Is
modeling all that you thought it would be?
Modeling is MORE and then some!! ? I never
thought that I would be so successful at my age now. It’s just a blessing
to be able to share “Karamel,” my alter ego, with
the world. |

Why
do you feel that you that you have an advantage over other
models?
I have height. Many
models in magazines these days may have the
curves and the “look,” but they lack height, so
all they can do is be a print/editorial model. Also, I’ve
heard may industry buffs complain of
the personality of models. They might say that they are stuck
up, etc. Well, I believe that I have the ENTIRE package: looks,
height, personality, drive/determination to succeed, class,
and sex appeal.
Because of this, I’m able to be successful at getting
what I want to
reach my goals as a model. |

What
is your biggest claim to fame?
My biggest claim to fame is trust in
the Lord and all that He’s worth and ye shall receive
your blessings. I count my blessings everyday. |
What
is your most important goal for 2007? In life?
My most important goal
right now is to finish my Degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant
in June 07. It’s one thing to just be a pretty face,
but you must have a backbone and my education is my backbone
and my humbleness. |
| |
Who
have been some of your main influences as a model and as
a person?
Melissa Ford, I like her style. I also like Tyra and I relate
most with her in a sense of personality. She seems to be
laid back, calm, sassy, and determined. But she also enjoys
lounging in her sweats, etc. She enjoys sports and those
traits best describe me. |
| |
What
kind of advise would you give someone starting out in the
business?
It must be something
that you enjoy doing. The key is to invest in your craft. If
you want to become a model, investing in outfits, travel, website
surfing, industry contacting, etc is the key to your success.
Get in the “know” crowd and learn the business. |
What
is the best thing about being a model?
Being recognized everywhere you go. That’s
the best thing to me. |
Where
do you see yourself 10 years from now?
I see myself being a successful Physical
Therapist Assistant and possibly a model/talent scout. |
