ichele speaks: As you can see, my life has always been far from the camera! It all began the day I moved to Miami. It was September 2007, and while walking in South Beach looking for apartments, opportunity struck! While walking up Ocean Drive, a heavy rain shower hit the beach and, new to the area, I decided to stop for a soda at Johnny Rockets (between 7th and 8th and Ocean). It was destiny that IRENE MARIE was there, and after few sharp looks at me she stood up from her chair and headed towards me introducing herself. I immediately recognized her from the MTV show "8th & Ocean" that I used to watch back in Italy last year. I was excited and couldn't believe she decided to come to talk to me! After a brief talk she invited me upstairs (where the IRENE MARIE MODEL AGENCY is) and I immediately signed a 2 year contract with them! Many people in the past told me I could have been a model although I never gave much credit to those words. But that day made me change my mind!

Michele is currently signed with Major Model Management in New York.
