Ann Baker Modeling Brag Sheet
2025-01-13 12:39:22
I've been told it is OKAY to brag about my accomplishments. hmmmm.... Hello again! * It was advised that I develop what is called in the modeling world as a BRAG SHEET. So, with that, below is my brag sheet as of today's date. I'm just going to leave this here for anyone casting and looking for someone with depth and broad life experiences. * With a foundation rooted in academia and an impressive professional background, Ann Baker brings a unique blend of intellect, resilience, and creativity to her modeling career. Armed with both an MBA and an MPA, Ann has spent decades excelling in corporate supply chain leadership, working with the world’s leading manufacturing and environmental firms. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish and run her own supply chain consulting business for over a decade, and her expertise even took her abroad to Germany for three years. Beyond the corporate world, Ann’s commitment to service shines through her tenure in public office during the late 1990s, where she honed her leadership and community engagement skills. * Ann’s modeling journey began in her youth, appearing in local theater productions and modeling during college to fund her education. After years of success as a product model for local businesses, she temporarily paused her career after being diagnosed with Mast Cell Disease in 2018. Despite the challenges of living with a rare chronic illness, Ann reemerged in the modeling world in 2023, now represented talent with a growing social media following as @AnnBakerModel on all major platforms. In addition to her modeling endeavors, Ann hosts Beyond The Flare, a podcast dedicated to raising awareness for chronic illnesses, building a supportive community, and advocating for research funding for Mast Cell Disease. Her story of resilience and her multifaceted talents make her a powerful force in the modeling industry and beyond. A former weightlifter, kickboxer, decorated race walker, and long-distance cyclist, Ann is no stranger to discipline and determination. Her artistry is equally impressive—an award-winning flutist, an abstract acrylic painter, and a seed bead sculptor whose work has been displayed internationally in Tokyo. In her personal life, Ann’s greatest pride comes from her family, which includes her husband, five children, seven grandchildren, and a new grandson on the way. As a mast cell disease warrior and patient advocate, Ann’s journey is an inspiring testament to perseverance, creativity, and the power of reinvention.
