My name is Sonya Rae. I am a model and creative director, providing insight into these crafts.

I’m currently available for mentorship.

Over several years of developing my craft, I have landed lead roles in films, been published in magazines, walked NYFW, and worked with global leaders in their field. I became more passionate about sharing the skills I have learned to help others pursue their passions.

As I continually educate myself on the ever-changing creative world and develop my craft, my work has evolved from artist to both artist and educator.
