Now that I am where I am and look back, everything I did prepared me to create the Manhattan Model Studio.

Diana Gallo, aka The Model Maker, has over 20 years of experience modeling professionally, appearing on magazine covers, commercials, television shows, movies, music videos, and print catalogs. She owns the Manhattan Model Studio, where she coaches and mentors aspiring models to get their careers started, guiding them on how to book jobs quicker, easier, and, above all things, safer.
