My definition of beauty comes from within. It doesn't matter what that number on the scale is, or on the tag of your dress, or the color of your skin, or how tall you are. Inner beauty always trumps outer beauty. Confidence is beautiful. If someone can feel comfortable in their own skin and encourage others to do the same, that is beauty.

www.alyssalexander.com My name is Alyssa Alexander. I am a 28 year old who has found a passion that brings so much inspiration into my life within modeling! I am an Army Brat who moved around most of my life but currently based in Lexington, KY. I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Management from Morehead State University, as well as a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Eastern Kentucky University. I hope to use my business knowledge and skills in my modeling career by keeping things professional and headed in the right direction, but most of all still having fun. Modeling has helped me discover who I am as a person and what I can accomplish. My only regret is not having the confidence to go on this journey earlier on in life only being 5'6" considered short in the industry and never smaller than a size 8 (currently a 14/16). It is so encouraging that even though I may be the more curvy/plus model body type I can still be successful at this! After having body and insecurity issues my whole life I finally have the confidence to show what I can accomplish! I am so grateful for all of the photographers, fashion designers, fellow models, Make up & hair artists and just genuine creative people that I have met and had the pleasure of working with! My main goal is to inspire people by creating beautiful images that make them feel something while learning and growing in the process and for inspiring men and women to beat the odds even though they may be against them. You can do anything you set your mind to regardless of your size! Break down those barriers!
