Michella

Hey there! I'm Michella. It's so nice to meet you! 🌟

I definitely live a "double life," and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. By day, you’ll usually find me in a professional kitchen, hair tied back (mostly!), obsessing over the perfect sear or a delicate reduction. There’s something so rhythmic and raw about the heat of the line—it’s where I feel my most creative and grounded. I love the chaos of a dinner rush just as much as I love the art of plating a beautiful dish. 🍳🔥👩🏼‍🍳

But when I step out of my chef’s whites, I trade the apron for the runway and the studio. Modeling allows me to express a completely different side of my personality. One day I’m walking through a vibrant, sun-drenched marketplace in a linen midi dress and a straw hat, feeling totally at peace with the world ☀️shaded by the warm glow of the sun. The next, I’m on a rooftop at sunset, rocking a sleek leather jacket and boots with a city skyline behind me, feeling bold and unstoppable. 🏙️🖤👠

My hair is probably my most "Michella" feature—long, blonde, and naturally wavy. It’s a bit of a challenge to manage between the humidity of a kitchen and the styling chairs at a photoshoot, but I’ve learned to embrace the volume! 💁🏼‍♀️✨ Whether it's catching the light in a portrait or tucked under a chef's hat, it's a huge part of who I am.

I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to pick just one lane in life. You can be the person who masters a complex French sauce AND the person who knows how to work a camera. It’s all about flavor, style, and a little bit of hustle. I’m just out here trying to taste everything the world has to offer and look good while doing it! 🥂✨✨
