About Models Melange

Breaking into professional modeling, acting, or the performing arts can feel overwhelming. There’s no shortage of people willing to offer opinions, but few have the experience, industry knowledge, and professional connections to help talented individuals take the next step.

Founded in 1992 as Tucson Model Group, Models Melange is a Tucson-based scouting, development, and placement company dedicated to discovering and developing new talent. For more than 30 years, we’ve helped aspiring models, actors, and performers connect with opportunities in the professional fashion and entertainment industries.

As a model and actress, she has appeared in print advertisements, television commercials, and fashion shows at both the local and national levels. Her experience also includes producing fashion shows, working as a makeup artist and stylist, serving as a freelance fashion editor, and booking models and talent for fashion, print, commercial, and acting opportunities.
