Today we will be looking at an inspirational American born model of Dominican descent Jillian Mercado
Mercado was born and raised in New York City and was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy as a child. Refusing to let this inhibit her dreams, she went on to study fashion at the New York fashion institute of technology, following in her parents' footsteps as they also worked in the industry.
She completed 2 internships for Allure and Veranda magazine and would go on to volunteer at every fashion week, which eventually led to her first campaign with designer denim brand Diesel. This break caught the eye of the IMG model agency and kick-started her career.
Since then she has worked with Beyonce, Glamour, Cosmopolitan and many more huge names.
Mercado has proved that with hard work and determination you can overcome any obstacle in your way. Sign up with AM:PM Talent today by following the link below and begin your journey:
