Today we’d like to introduce you to Elizabeth Charnay.
Hi Elizabeth, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
In the beginning of 2019, I was introduced to the world of commercialized modeling while completing my Masters of Public Administration. Along with waiting till I could re-enroll again in law school, I ended up committing to this newly pursued endeavor without anyone’s assistance nor knowledge of the industry itself. Being that I came from an academic only background, modeling was extremely new to me. As I did during my academic career, especially the challenges I faced in law school, came massive amounts of barriers I needed to overcome in order to be successful within the industry. I took on those challenges and excelled massively by my perseverance and dedication to succeeding within. The ability I had to face such adversity built my character and who I am today.
After just two years of being in the industry, I have been published 13 times in countless magazines and graced the cover of timeless brands like Maxim, FHM US and Playboy 7 times alone. About a year and a half into the industry, I then decided to take the biggest financial risk of my life and invest into the world of broadcasting by acquiring my broadcasting license through the purchase of my podcast equipment from MultiCam Systems. This new reality became one of the best financial investments I had ever made and have been breaking ceiling glasses by producing one of the only female lead political podcast show. Where I as a political analyst assess the political headlines of each given day along with interviewing influencer and socialites. In the face of extreme adversity is what allowed for me to strive and achieve the goals I had set for myself. Being extremely challenged is important to evolve in life.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Most definitely the hardest of industries I’ve ever been in! The world of modeling has had a lot of challenges and issues with respect to how the work is distributed into today’s world of commercialized modeling. Some of my biggest struggles have been more with my involvement in the world of broadcasting. Podcasting is relatively new and overly saturated and what I am trying to bring is new and rare. It’s hard to understand how a cover model for Playboy and Maxim can also be a political analyst educated enough to provide expertise advice. Breaking perceptions is a new struggle I face and plan to overcome!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am an internationally published cover model, political analyst, podcaster and news writer. My expertise is in the field of American Politics and just so happen to be a cover model as well. However, politics is my bread and butter and is what I mostly invest majority of my time in on Life Trials by EAC. I am known for being that highly educated Playboy model who assesses politics.
Being that I will be 30 this coming December, I have accomplished a lot. I have acquired my Bachelors of Political Science, Masters of Public Administration and have two years left to complete my Juris Doctorate. Internationally recognized cover model who got published 13 times in less than two years and created a sophisticated audio and video podcast. Once I am done with law school, I will then get licensed in Washington DC and get into the world of political lobbying. I still have so much to accomplish and achieve in my life and continue to evolve as a Hispanic woman in male-dominated fields.
I believe what sets me apart from others is my tenacity to never give up on my goals and dreams. Not to allow defeat in the face of adversity but to defeat such adversity. Being dedicated and determined is hard to maintain and keeping an objective and vision to how those accomplishments has built my character. Being a principled person with values as a young entrepreneur sets me apart wholeheartedly. Being passionate about my goals.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
Growing up without having to worry about adulting, I’d say. Just being a kid who loves life and God.
