Lindsy Ray
Casting Coordinator / Models
Runway, Fashion, Catalog, and Commercial Print

Lindsy Ray has been involved with the entertainment and modeling
industry professionally for over 8 years.  Her background education and
experience is in fashion merchandising, dance, modeling, and acting.

In 2007, Lindsy danced professionally on the AIFL Reading Express' dance
squad where she was introduced to modeling for the first time.  Instead
of joining the squad the next year she auditioned and interviewed for
"America's Next Top Model" where, out of thousands of applicants, she
made it to the finals in LA with only 24 other models.  After that
incredible experience, she knew she needed to pursue her modeling
career, and began networking, building portfolio, and working as a
promotional model with companies like Miller Lite, Axe, USA TV, H&M,
Verizon, and more.

Lindsy's experience as a booking agent for modeling began when she was
contracted by Wilhelmina to model their high fashion and promotion
divisions for three years. At that time she began to intern with lead
booking agents. In addition to talent bookings she organized fashion
shows, set up go-sees for the models, scouted new talent, and auditioned
actors at the agency's open calls each month. 

Lindsy's experience in the areas of model development and agency booking
led her to realize her passion for helping people bring their dreams to
life. This passion brought her to PhillyFaces.com where she is thrilled
to be working behind the scenes developing new model talent and
connecting that talent with the clients that need their services.

We are delighted to welcome Lindsy Ray to the PhillyFaces.com team, and
look forward to her energy, enthusiasm, and skill to bring
PhillyFaces.com to the forefront of model development and bookings in
the Philadelphia Tri-State area.
