Who is Jaslene Gonzalez?

Although she’s still at the beginning of her career, Jaslene Gonzalez is best known for being an elite Latina fashion model in the United States. Jaslene shot to worldwide fame when her striking beauty won her a top prize on a reality television show, but she is most proud of her heritage, growing up in a large close-knit Puerto Rican family in Chicago. As a young girl, Jaslene would compete with her aunt in local beauty pageants, drawn to the world of fashion since an early age. Extremely close to her large family, weekends were a time for gatherings at her grandmother's house. Mentored by a local Latina fashion designer, Jaslene did some modeling jobs in high school but her career did not take off until after she appeared on national TV. As one of just a handful of Latina celebrities in America, Jaslene has worked tirelessly to promote her culture and heritage while traveling the world for her assignments. After nearly succumbing to domestic violence when she was teenager, Jaslene is proud to serve as an inspirational role model and advocate for survivors of relationship abuse. A beautiful young woman still in the prime of her life, Jaslene has a very bright future ahead of her in the world of fashion and modeling.
