Meet Monique, Modelling Coach and Scout
I started modelling at the age of 9 & left the modelling industry at the age of 18. I started working and a few years later, I got married & became a mother of two beautiful daughters. By Monique van Schalkwyk
In 2014 when my youngest daughter turned two, I decided to follow my dream and open my own modelling & finishing school and so, Bella Monna Modelling & Finishing School was born.
I am a qualified and trained make-up artist, image consultant and modelling coach. I have completed a 4-year Teachers Training Diploma in Pageant Modelling, Finishing, and Fashion & Photographic Modelling with the owner & founder of Vogue Catwalk S.A., Valerie Begbie.
In 2018, I decided to move on to bigger things & bought the Vogue Catwalk S.A. Hartbeespoort/Brits Branch. The other Vogue branches are allocated in Montana, Centurion, Randburg, Meyerton, Kimberley & the East Rand.
I can offer models training of a high quality & standard. I have a true passion for the industry. My goal is to empower young models & to build their self-confidence by teaching them to become the best version of themselves.
We live by our motto, “Your success is our best advertisement”.
My modelle het oor die jare al verskeie Nasionale titels verower nl. Mini Miss RSA 2018, Rolemodel RSA 2019, Miss Teen RSA 2020, Junior Teen Rolemodel RSA 2020, Pre-Teen Rolemodel RSA 2020, Miss Teen South Africa 2018, Miss North West 2020, Miss World International Queen om net om ‘n paar te noem.
