At the age of 14, Ann Marie’s parents signed her up for a local 8 week modeling course. Why? Well, she was already a lanky 5’9” tall and pleasantly outgoing. It seemed to them that a course on fashion, health and etiquette would be a perfect fit. Within a year she attended her first modeling convention and three months later, at the age of 15, Ann Marie was flying to Tokyo Japan to model for the summer with one of the top modeling agencies, Elite Folio. At 16 she was in Paris , France with the famous Glamour Agency. 20 Countries and as many years later, Ann Marie has spent over half of her life as a professional model.

When given the opportunity to put acting on her resume she jumped right in. As a model, Ann Marie had always enjoyed shooting commercials and felt ready to put a voice to the character she portrayed. One of her dreams came true when she was cast as a series regular on the Power Rangers television show. Now she had fulfilled two of her goals!

With the two goals still active it was time to go for number three - a very special one at that. Her long-term goal has always been to produce an educational video she has been preparing and envisioning for over 10 years. Comfortably settled in Los Angeles , she began writing her modeling course. As part of her mission to teach and inspire young models, she had often told her story and given real-world advice at modeling Conventions and workshops.

Ann Marie decided that the use of video to teach aspiring models would be the perfect way to reach out to a broader audience – namely, those small towns that did not have an agency nearby or an affordable way to learn these techniques. Ann Marie’s high-quality video, titled “BEING BEAUTIFUL Inside & Out” was released January 2005 and contains interviews with some of the top names in the L.A. modeling world.

Ann Marie and her family recently moved back to the Gulf Coast to begin this next chapter in her life. Teaching her techniques to the next generation of aspiring actors and models. She now owns and operates a full service talent agency.
