Rachel Serrano

Rachel Serrano of Wilhelmina Models is one of those rare unforgettable beauties--once you see her, you'll never forget her. The 20-year-old Miami native has been modeling since she was 16 after being discovered at a model search convention. In October 2008 she signed with Whilemina Models. “After I started modeling I hated it,” she says. “I would go to castings and go home and start crying. . . I wanted to go to a party, go eat dinner with my friends but no, I couldn’t because I had work.”

Her first real modeling job came from Kohl’s in early 2009. The 5'9" stunner has since modeled for Aeropostale, Payless, Nordstrom, Kohl’s, Garage.ca, and GUESS.

“Now that I am older and I understand, I’m thankful for [modeling],” she says. “I’m thankful that I have opportunities to see how other people live and experience a different lifestyle.”

With a full career in modeling, she still has time for her studies at Miami Dade College, majoring in education. Rachel has taken her new-found fame in stride. “This is what you see on TV. I’m living the lifestyle that girls wish they could live.”
