Laura Pacelli
Occupation: Bartender
A glimpse into my life:
I am a proud graduate of Purdue University. I am currently working on my Master's degree. I live and work in Scottsdale and am enjoying the sunshine 365. Most of my family lives on the east coast, NJ and NY, and I miss not being close to them. Building a new network of friends is fun, and everyone thus far has made the transition that much easier. I've had a bunch of different nicknames, but Scottsdale is rapidly making "Little Italy" be the one that sticks. I have an adorable puppy, Amo (short for amore), who I love to take everywhere with me.
Favorite Artist: Weezy f baby!
Favorite Color: Baby blue
Favorite Drink: Vanilla chai (fact for the day: Chai means tea in Hindi so don't ever say chai tea. Its like saying tea tea.)
Favorite Food: Ratatouille or ravioli
Something very few people know about you: I love languages. I am fluent in English and Italian, but also can speak some Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, and Spanish.
How much modeling/promotional experience do you now have?
I have been modeling for about 4 years. I started off doing small things around town and eventually got more exposure to do bigger projects. After moving to Arizona, the market was a lot bigger and I have been able to model even more. I have done commercial, print, runway, and promotional. Its alll been very fun. I've met a lot of cool people and been lucky enough to have a lot of great photos.
What kind of things do you like to do in your free time?
I love to read. I also really enjoy cooking. I am Italian, so I grew up cooking in the kitchen with my mama. Eventually, I'd like to tie two of my favorite things together and write my own cookbook one day.
Where do you hope to go in life? What do you hope to achieve?
After I finish my Master's degree, I hope to teach in an inner city school. I would like to have a family. Eventually, I'd also like to get my PhD. In a dream world, I'd like to open my own school.
If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be? talkative, creative, and original
If you had three wishes, what would they be?
I'd like to open my own school and orphanage, be able to travel the world limitlessly, and to be taller. :)
What's one thing you are 100% passionate about?
Making a difference in the world even if its just in one person's life.
What's your favorite photography style?
I really like artistic photography. I also like spot coloring on black and white photography. My little sister is one of the best photographers I've ever seen, and I love nearly every photo she's ever taken. I've seen so many different styles though, and I am always intrigued by new techniques.
