Lowvelder Michelle Olckers recently travelled to Tampa, Florida where two modelling agencies approached her for contracts.

The success of the participants of Lowvelder’s Got Talent continues as local Michelle Olckers recently returned from the USA with two modelling contracts.
Olckers, a finalist and ambassador from Lowvelder’s Got Talent 2021, had attended the International Talent Showcase (ITS) in Tampa, Florida, in July, where she did exceptionally well.

She was awarded contracts with Corestone Model and Talent Management in Canada and Uno Model Management in Miami.

“Michelle has definitely placed her first foot on the international runway arena. In March next year, she leaves for Miami for a work week in the USA under the guidance of Corestone Model Management, and the opportunities that could arise for her could possibly be endless,” said Master Models owner Candice Paterson.
