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. 10 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. Photographer: David Kilper Stylist: Kristy Lee Hair and Makeup: Kevyn Idoux GAZELLE WEST
