Hailey has been selected to attend the largest talent and modeling scouting convention in the world... IMTA (International Model and Talent Association) this July in New York City! Hailey has worked hard to excel in EVERYTHING she has done. Whether it be in gymnastics, dance, or cheer-she puts in 110%.  As a 6th grader, Hailey has achieved high honor status and was recenlty selected for the National Junior Honor Society.

Here's her story...

Hailey's love for modeling began at a very early age! She went right from playing dolls and dressing up, to starting kindergarten and entering the world of gymnastics at the renouned Brestyan's Olympic Training Center.  Hailey trained vigirously 6 days a week advancing from Level 4 to Level 8 in 5 short years.  At a very young age her time was spent in the gym flipping, tumbling and condiitioning. She decided she needed a break from gymnastics.
Upon entering 5th Grade, Hailey decided she would like to try something new. She began dancing 5 nights a week at LaPierre School of dance where she took classes in Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Hip-Hop and Modern dance.
She loved it... but was missing the competitive edge and the excitement of tumbling & flipping!
In May of 2014, she decided to tryout for All-Star Cheer at Jag Cheer in Woburn. Yes! Her excitement level was back and she was quickly learning new stunts and was so happy to be tumbling again!! She competed as a flyer on the Senior Level 4.2 team and is looking forward to returning to Jag again next year, where her passion for cheer grows at every practice.


Now... that just wasn't enough for Hailey! She wanted more! She wanted to get into the world of modeling/ acting (and had for some time)! So, in December of 2014, we had a meeting with Karon Shea, owner of Karon Shea Model Management. www.ksmmonline.com

Karon was quite impressed with Hailey and invited her to IMTA (International Model and Talent Association) www.imta.com in New York City where many popular names we know today were discovered... Katie Holmes, Eva Longoria, Ashton Kutcher, etc. This was all VERY exciting! But, it is not cheap to attend IMTA. There are 8 months of modeling/acting classes, photo shoots and an entire week of competions in NYC. We talked with several people and they all said "Go For it!" The support from our family and friends has been amazing!

Hailey has been working with Karon Shea for several months now. All of the money raised from gofundme (and her FUNraising Event on May 30th) will go directly towards paying the costs of her trip to New York City and all of the training prior. While at IMTA she will be competing in the following catagories for her age group:- Jeans Runway
- Swim Runway
- Fashion Print
- TV Beauty
- Commercial Print
- Fashion Runway
- Monoloque
