The last runway show I walked for was a bridal show in 2014 for local Nashville designer Karen Hendrix.

My first runway show was for Castner Knott, a local Nashville department store, in 1997. In 1998, I joined their Teen Board, which meant I was doing dozens of Back-to-School & Prom shows all over town until I graduated high school in 2000. I have walked special event shows for Donald Deal, Betsey Johnson, Oscar de la Renta, and many an independent boutique. And, of course, bridal shows & hair shows.

All that to say: I’m pretty good at walking in a straight line & changing clothes quickly.

These days, however, as a mother of two in my mid-40s, I am less good at fitting into a sample size 4. So totally still hire-able to human coat-hanger for your brand or art as long as you understand I am an unapologetically larger and older coat-hanger now than I was a couple decades ago.
