BIOGRAPHY

With a far-fetched dream and a heart with enough ammunition to back up the next world war, this small town girl has emerged on the LA scene and redefines the word "conqueror.” Monique has reached a professional level of success in nearly every category as an international model, challenged herself into the competitive world of fitness modeling. She holds an extensive experience as the director of national talent agency and published agent photographer. She combines an amazing charisma with an astonishing background as a degreed graphic artist/web designer/video editor and not only that, she even renovated an entire beachfront property in Mexico, doubling its value in 4 months.

Besides the brains, the beauty, and undying ambition, the girl has a smile that can light a room of a thousand faces and personality that continually attracts new friends from every walk of life. She is also inevitably gifted with widespread skills in proficient networking, which proved to be the key asset in building her profitable, private label fashion brand of women’s boots, CapeltaCouture.com.

After ten years in the business as a successful entrepreneur, Capelta is back on her original mission, where her passion forevermore lies in an industry that has consumed her heart and soul since childhood and to where it leads ... in front and behind the lens. Monique’s career path led her to becoming the studio manager at the Dream Factory Studios, where she developed professionalism on and off set, along with comprehending the value of teamwork.

Understanding how demanding a career in entertainment can be, it is crystal clear in stating Monique possesses the energy/focus for the hard work, long hours, and total dedication that the industry requires. In her own unique way, Monique thrives to do something meaningful to help change the world for the better.

UPDATE : I am back into modeling/acting after spending the last few years working on my high fashion boot brand, Capelta Couture.

Currently, seeking paid work in the Los Angeles area.. and open to tfp shoots with reputable photographers.






Mission Statement
(i wrote this 2002.. i keep it on here..because shows my passion and drive)

Acting and modeling rule my heart and my eagerness to make an impression in these areas, is not simply a hobby or a leisure interest of mine, but the reason for my existence. I truly believe deep down this feeling of urgency is purely forcing me toward something I was born to do. I do not find this business as only a reason to get noticed or make lots of money. This is definitely more than a fascination or a young girl's dream. Acting and modeling are the perfect blend of performance, personality, art and fashion. This combination displays the qualities I care to present to the world... I don't want to merely blend into these industries, I want to attack them and alter them and begin molding the minds of designers.. becoming a part of the change that ultimately fuels show business...Change is my addiction and my champion, it is what makes me enjoy one day from the next and anxious to explore the future no matter what it holds. I will metamorphize the industry transforming from fitness to fashion. I want to attack the fashion world bringing shape to the catwalk and sculpted curves to the major clothing campaigns. I feel the industry is obsessed with that underpriviledged frail look and it has only created a bad example of the idolized body. I think fashion should wake up and begin to take a giant step toward reality. Reality is that everyone is capable of developing good muscle tone with the right nutrition and exercise.... but very few can starve themselves to that anorexic look that is so played out by the fashion icons of today. I hope to bring this concept of beauty to a new era in the movement of fashion. I feel assured that by this time I will have created a name for myself and have gained the exposure to make another final and lasting career move into the realm of television and film. Because this where my heart and soul resides, to bring smiles to faces all over the world. I know my life is forever changed because of my ability to accept the reality of knowing the secret. The secret is... being prepared, because you never know when the opportunity of a lifetime will come. I only know it is closer than it ever was before. I will obtain success through the recognition of my hard work and talent. I can prove that I am 500 times more motivated than the average individual. My fighting urge will not give up or give in for anyone! I will accomplish the goals I have planned for myself, through patience and perseverance, ANYTHING is possible in this world and nothing can stand in my way. I believe the obstacles that have paved the path to where I am standing now have only strengthen my character and proved that my dreams will never die. NO matter how long it takes or how hard I have to work, I know all I really need is my willingness to follow whatever path takes me there.I feel confident that in combination with my mind and heart, I can and WILL become the leading edge in the entertainment world.
