RENE KRYSTLE HAMLET Fully Submerged When did you first get involved as a model? I first became involved in modeling when I was 15. I previously had been very enthusiastic about playing volleyball, but doctors said I couldn’t play sports anymore after a severe sternum and rib injury. My parents searched for something else for me to do, and we chose modeling and acting classes. What or Who inspired you to pursue such a competitive career? I pursued modeling just for a fun activity and had no particular expectations of what might come from it. After meeting and working with other models and on sets, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I’m sure you have met a lot of talented individuals and/or celebrities along the way. Would you share 1 or 2 of your favorite stories with us? I had the opportunity to meet one of my favorite bands, go on tour with them for awhile, and hang out at their studio in Los Angeles. I learned a lot about what their daily grind of rehearsing is all about, and I had fun watching their talent in action. How has your modeling evolved since you first started? I’ve become locally known in my market and, because I have networked for so many years, people contact me to do work for them.
