Mikayla Smith: Story & Interview
My name is Mikayla Smith, I am nineteen years old, and I have lived in northern IL my whole life. I started modeling in late 2011 with a close friend, at the time and continued onto this day. Unfortunately, as well, in 2011 I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition that has affected my whole life greatly. In short, I’ve had multiple surgeries, lots of medication, and a lot of family/friend’s support to make it this far. I had to take the winter of 2013 off for my own health, but I am desperately trying to get back into the modeling world as soon as possible. I take my modeling seriously, but I also consider it something fun to do versus a career.
