| I worked at the JC Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas for Robin Smith for over 8 years. It was such an amazing experience!!! He really encouraged me to reach for my dreams and because of him I was able to travel the world working for Elite Model Management. I placed in the top 30 of the International Finals for the Elite Model Look in '97 in Nice France. After the contest I worked as a fashion model in New York, Tokyo and Milan. In between my travels I would come back to my home base and share my experiences with my students at JC-Fayetteville. I taught runway, hair and make-up, acting, and was the house fashion/beauty photographer. In '98 I worked for Elite Model Look, traveling around the northeast part of the country with Alex and Erin Lundgren from Elite and Roman, director of the New Faces division of Elite NY, guest-judging the contests and coordinating the runway. Also that year I worked with Roshumba and Spencer Michaels choreographing the runway for the Elite Model Look Launch Party in New York. I have shared the runway with the legendary Wayne Mackintosh and J. Alexander--the top runway coaches in the world and I've met so many other amazing people along the way. This I owe to Robin Smith of the JC Center of Fayetteville and the fantastic people at Elite-NY, Tokyo, and Milan. I now have two beautiful copper-headed boys ages 6 and 2 and have my own photography business called On Location Photography. I still shoot fashion, beauty, and actors headshots for Robin at John Casablancas. I have seen so many people completely transform from having taken the curriculum that John Casablancas has to offer. People truly come out with a great sense of self--a confidence that is strong and humble. They aquire the skills to be successful in the modeling and acting industry or whatever field it is they want to pursue. They develop a longing to set goals and realize they have the tools to achieve them. They come out with a professional attitude that will serve them for a lifetime. |

| Hello I worked with the John Casablancas in Kansas City until I moved to Fayettville, Ark. I taught classes i.e, runway, make up, and acting. It was a really great experience and Robin was very nice and easy to talk to. I actually enjoyed being the instructor more than anything. Overall I must say it was a very enjoyable experience.
