Q1. Swanky Mag: Hello Telia, Can you introduce yourself to Swanky Magazine's readers?

Hello, I'm Lia Rose (model name) I'm a model who encourages others to do what they've always dreamed of by modeling (literally) first.

Q2. How did you get involved with modeling, and what do you love most about being a model?

I got involved with modeling by wanting everyone else to do what I wanted to do. I was first introduced by America's next top model. What I love most about modeling is dressing up, trying something new, and expanding myself to what I didn't know I could do.

Q4. Let us into a secret, What is a beauty trick you do before a photoshoot?
