New York (USA) – Washanda Registre,
the 2012 TCI Top Model is in New York this week to meet with Wilhelmina Model Management
– the agency that spotted her international star-making potential at the
recently held TCI Top Model Contest.

week to meet with the various boards and divisions at Wilhelmina; that, along
with having scheduled appointments with potential clients, casting directors
and photo shoots to promote her career as a Wilhelmina Model.

personality, the bubbly 5’10” local beauty who captured ‘Industry Readiness’,
‘Best Body’ and strutted off with ‘Fashion Forward’ awards at the 2012 TCI Top
Contest will now have the opportunity secure modeling contracts.
“I
was am so happy for this opportunity to travel to NYC, meet with Wilhelmina
Models, and hopefully sign with them. This is my dream come true, and I’m
living it eyes wide open and in living colour. This is truly an amazing
experience, one which I will embrace and work my hardest at seeing that I am
the success that I, and everyone know that I can be,” said Washanda.

epicenter of high fashion, editorial and commercial modeling; any model starting
their career there will have many doors open to Fashion Avenue and the world of
fashion,” said Robinson. “The
potential to be signed and represented by one of the World’s leading agencies
is enormous and Washanda is going to be exposed to the best in the business and
an opportunity that will spring board her career not only in the New York
