ITALIA RICHES
The Back Story
Two things about me is, I will eat anything (or at least try it) and I love to travel. I've been to 15 countries and found something new to eat in each of them. My father is a photographer so I began modeling on day one so naturally it has become part of my life. When my mom put me in modeling professionally I knew I had found my happy place. To make it a career will be a dream come true. My goal is to make it a reality.
