Hi everyone, my name is Tessa, and I’m a 22-year-old college student working hard to balance school, a job, and my small business, Tessa’s Thrifts & Threads — a clothing resale account I started to support myself and fuel my passion for fashion.

Recently, I’ve taken the exciting leap into the world of modeling, a dream I’ve had for as long as I can remember. While I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities coming my way, I’ve quickly realized how many upfront expenses are involved — from building a professional portfolio and traveling to castings, to investing in the tools needed to properly market and represent myself.

That’s why I’m turning to my community of friends, family, and supporters. With your help, I’ll be able to cover the necessary costs to grow my modeling career while still keeping up with school and my business. Every donation, share, or kind word truly means the world to me.
