For starters, many people mispronounce my name. It's pronounced "Shell", as in Sea Shell. Now that that's out of the way, I'll tell you a bit about myself.

My story is actually as long way from being written. I've lived in New York all my life and that's where I still reside. The winters are a little cold, you can actually see my goosebumps in many of my yearly snow-shoot pics, but the summers are absolutely glorious. I do enjoy the 4 seasons here & the ability to do shoots in all sorts of conditions.

I've had classical training in both ballet and jazz dance arts, which has been part of my stay-in-shape program, as well as helping with coordination, balance & flexibility. I attended an All-Girl Catholic High School which was quite an interesting experience. I was elected head of the cheerleading squad, and since I'm only 5'4" and about 100 pounds, I was honored to be the girl who was hoisted to the top of the famous "pyramid of pep". Of course, we cheered for the All-Boys School Football Team. I can tell you that the nuns really earned their money during some of the autumn-night football games, when the 2 schools came together, as I'm sure you can imagine. (Lots of HORMONES!!)

I'm really in the early stage of my modeling career, with many aspirations and goals ahead of me. The most important thing, which I've poured my energy into, is my website. I started it in February of 2000. I never really knew what to expect, but with nearly 3 million visitors, 2 million since February of this year, I realize that this is the most exciting time of my life.

Thank You,

Chele
