Teresa Frei

Instructor

Hitting 6’1” in her Freshman year in high school, Teresa was always told that she was pretty and should be a model, but she thought you had to be tall, pretty, and thin. One day, while listening to a local radio station, she heard a commercial for a model search looking for Plus Size models. Teresa attended the search and, with the encouragement of some of the industry’s most respectable scouts, found her desire to be a “Plus Model”

“In this industry there is something for everyone and you just have to find what is right for you.”

She has had extensive training in runway, make-up artistry & photo posing and is currently working on her acting skills. Her industry experience includes numerous fashion shows, TV commercials, in-formal modeling and an abundance of print work.

“You can succeed in this industry if you believe in yourself and work very hard to achieve your dreams.”
