BIO
I’m 25 years old, born and raised just outside of the Newark area of New Jersey and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else, I love it here. I’ve traveled to California and Florida and places in between, but it’s not the same. What’s so special about New Jersey? Well, you’d have to be from here to understand. Everything is at your fingertips. NYC just a short ride away, the Jersey Shore, Atlantic City, and you get to enjoy each of the four seasons equally… Yes, I am a true Jersey girl.
Modeling is somewhat of a side hustle for me. I’m a full-time graphic designer and part-time model. Beauty and brains you might say. As of the past year or so I’ve really been into working out and keeping fit. I used to swim competitively when I was younger, but recently got back in touch with the athletic side of me. Taking care of myself is important. I’d rather spend countless hours at the gym than go get a body the “fake” way. Despite what some assume, my body is the result of working out and good genes. It’s becoming less common to find a model who hasn’t had work done, but trust me, we are out there. I prove that.
Some of the things I enjoy are graphic arts, working out, spending time with my friends and family, meeting and networking with new people, shopping, hip hop & r&b, the color pink & anything girly, and some home-cooked Italian food!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How did you get into modeling?
Truthfully, I never aspired to be a model. I was contacted to design a couple models’ websites for an agency and was eventually convinced to a try a test shoot myself. I was happy with the results and became eager to take on the modeling industry. I was lucky enough to be found by a manager and agency I can trust and worked from there.
What advice would you give to someone trying to break into modeling?
First I would suggest getting some professional pictures done and creating your own modeling portfolio. Make yourself known online though an official website, modeling website, or any type of networking community. Be careful who you do business with, choose selectively. A lot of people in this industry are rip offs.
What are you mixed with?
I’m 100% Caucasian. I’m mostly Italian (specifically Sicilian & Napledon), mixed with a little Irish & Polish. I was raised with my Italian-American culture, though. People keep asking me what kind of last name is Shari and that it doesn’t sound Italian. That’s because Shari isn’t my last name, it’s my middle name. My Italian last name is not quite catchy enough for modeling 
How do you stay in shape?
I spend 3-4 days a week at the gym doing weight training and cardio. I do a lot of leg work. I’ve always had strong legs, so I like to keep them strong and toned. I stick to a pretty healthy diet, but it’s impossible for me to stay away from pasta! I don’t shy away from carbs, it keeps me thick the way I like. I just keep consistant at working out.
Is your body real?
My body is all-REAL! It’s common nowadays for models to be fake but I’ll be the first to tell you, I’m not one of them. My figure is the result of genetics and working out.
Can I book you for an event?
Go to the CONTACT ME page to contact my management with your booking inquiry. Please be as detailed as possible.
Do you do any adult work?
Absolutely not! I do not pose nude for any type of reason, nor am I an exotic dancer.
