ABOUT OUR COVER GIRL
Hanah Rose Swindle
Gazelle: What do you do when
you’re not modeling?
Hanah: I am a full-time nursing
student and a part-time office
assistant at a special needs
pediatric physical, occupational
and speech therapy clinic. I love
my job and can’t wait to start my
nursing career.
Gazelle: How did you get
into modeling?
Hanah: I got into modeling when
I was selected to walk in a Fashion Week in St. Louis. There I met
a local agency that guided my
way into the industry and by the
very next year, I was a semi-finalist for America’s Next T
op
Model. When I look back on all
I’ve accomplished as a model in
the last few years, I realize how
fast time flies and how blessed
I’ve been.
Gazelle: What do you love
about being part of the local
fashion scene?
Hanah: I love the people. The
amount of talent in St. Louis is
overwhelming. Witnessing my
closest friends in the industry succeed has been extremely rewarding, and I can’t wait to see what
great things are in store for 2015.
Gazelle: What is your
favorite movie?
Hanah: I am a huge movie buff
so claiming just one movie as my
favorite gives me anxiety. My recent favorites are Interstellar, The
W W Back, Mud, A rgo, The
ay ay
Descendants, and pretty much all
Jake Gyllenhaal movies.

Gazelle: What do you do for fun?
Hanah: I am a very simple person
when it comes to fun. I love time
with my boyfriend. I love the
beach. I love fishing. And I love
wineries. So drinking wine on the
beach with my boyfriend and a
fishing pole would be my paradise.
