A campaign I’ll never forget - full of so many firsts. My first major campaign, my first time traveling with a brand & to LA, my first time on a Billboard, my first time in Times Square.
The casting process of the Good Squad is so unique. I applied through Instagram and ended up being selected for an in person call back in New York. They had two days of castings in four cities. The day I went for my callback I had no idea what to expect, but I definitely wanted to stand out. Since it’s Good American, I figured everyone would be wearing denim, so I wore a dark gray Jaded London set with silver boots my roommate let me borrow. At the casting they called us back in groups where we did an interview and took a photo.
I didn’t hear anything for months; so many months that I thought they had already chosen the Good Squad & thought it was a scam email when I received the callback. The email was letting me know I had been chosen for a callback that would take place in LA. I couldn’t believe they were flying me out for a follow up casting. It seemed too good to be true. I was freaking out and was immediately asking my roommates if they thought it was real, they had me convinced I had already booked the Good Squad - why else would they be doing so much?
Fast forward, I’m in LA. When I showed up to the hotel they had Good American clothes waiting for me & all kinds of treats in my room. I felt so spoiled. The following morning they had us meet in the lobby where myself & 5 other girls met as well as one of the producers from Good American. They took us in two separate vans to Milk Studios, we were all so excited & had no idea what to expect. At Milk Studios they had us come out of the van one at a time to get mic’d up and escorted into the studio. I was the last one to go in, my heart was racing. When I finally walked in there was an entire production team & so many cameras pointed at me. When I turned the corner, I was on set with Khloe Kardashian and Emma Grede. I was on the Good Squad!!
Turned out I was at a fitting for our photoshoot. All the girls were calling home to tell our families we made it! The photoshoot itself had even more surprises - we were all being signed to Natural Models LA. My now agent, Sara Davenport was there to announce the news.
