Claudia Gallo

Hola! My name is Claudia, I was born and raised in Costa Rica, but my Dad was born in USA, so part of my family lives there. I was always very into sports, mostly gymnastics, dancing, martial arts, cheerleading, and water sports, but my passion has always been modeling. I started doing runways when I was 16 and when I was 18 I entered a contest for a national magazine, and experienced what the photo shoots were and fell in love. I decided I wanted to make a career from modeling, but in my country it wasnt possible. So I left to Europe, Spain, it was 2009 and the crisis was bad.. So I just did a few jobs. Thankfully from there I met a model who presented me to Asian market, and my first contract was for Istanbul, Turkey. I loved it there, my first experience living with 12 models from all over the world, and the food and culture was very exciting. After my contract there (3months), my next one was Hong Kong, another crazy 3 months, loved the city and nightlife, and I did well with jobs. After I went to China, Indonesia and then finally back home. After a few months back home, I really missed my model life, so decided to travel again. My next destination was Thailand. I liked it because its a more commercial place, I did TVCs and publicity campaigns, and got to know amazing beautiful places! I also enjoy doing Yoga a lot, so I went to India to have my teacher certification and since then I combine my model work with teaching Yoga. Last contract was in Malaysia, and I liked it so much that I stayed for 10 months.
I just finished an Acting For Film course at New York Film Academy, recently worked in SF and then Miami as a signed model and the big apple for the last 6 months ~ NOW in FLORIDA! If you are around and have some paid shoots for me let me know! . Im very responsible when it comes to jobs, im adventurous but at the same time very down to earth easy going person, and just love what I do! You can contact me through here for now.~ Now in KL
