Alyssa Alexander, 28, is a plus size model and body positive advocate. She was born in Biloxi, Mississippi and grew up as an Army Brat moving around the US & Europe every few years the majority of her life. She is currently based in Lexington, KY but loves to travel! She has a Bachelor's degree in Business Management from Morehead State University, as well as a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Eastern Kentucky University. Alyssa started freelance modeling in 2014 for local boutiques and photographers. It was always a dream of hers, but she never thought it was obtainable due to her height, and body size & shape. Having body insecurities all her life, it took her until her late 20s to finally feel confident enough in her body to pursue this dream. As modeling became a reality, she started to use her platform to spread a body positive message and inspire other women to follow their dreams and be confident in themselves, regardless of their shape, size, weight, height, race, skin color, etc. and became a voice of empowerment for those reluctant to pursue their dreams or those letting any factor hold them back in life.
As one of the Slink Jeans "Love Your Body" Model Search Winners for 2016 she was able to travel to Los Angeles for the first time to meet with the body positive company and participate in the photoshoot of a lifetime. Recently signed to Bicoastal Model Management she is hitting the ground running traveling to cities such as Los Angeles, New York, & Miami for modeling opportunities.
In early 2017 Alyssa also participated in the Mac Duggal Dresses "This is Why I'm Fabulous" Model search and became a Semi-finalist to be the face of the Fabulouss Plus Size line. She had the opportunity to walk the runway in their Mac Duggal Fashion Week in Chicago as well as model beautiful dresses in the photoshoot for the Spring/Summer 2018 Catalogue.
