INDIGENOUS SUPERMODEL
My professional career began as a Model.
INDIGENOUS SUPERMODEL
MISCHAELA
My career began when I entered the 2009 Elite New Faces Open Call modeling competition. Out of 300 models, I was 1 of 3 to receive an agency callback.
Mischaela took her modeling career to new heights as a swimwear model for brands re-using reclaimed ocean plastics and for heavy hitters like La Perla, Agua Bendita, Luli Fama, Beach Bunny Swimwear, and more. She promoted her platform as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and Swimfluence Network model, and debuted as an international MAXIM model in the Women of the World issue shot on location in the Paracas National Preserve in Ica, Peru. She serves as an ambassador for Oceana, 4Ocean, and the Ocean Cleanup as well as the Prince of Monaco's Albert II de Monaco Foundation's ocean initiatives.
Mischaela established her personal platform as Miss Peru by starting a petition urging Victoria's Secret to adhere to water & ocean friendly practices as they downsized their physical store footprint, promoted the petition and cause to have the Nazca Marine Protected Area formally recognized by Peru, forged brand ambassadorships with La Mer, Shiseido, Mikimoto, L'Oreal, and Swarovski to promote, educate, and inspire others through sharing each brand's work with ocean conservation, and more...
Through the creation and development of ACQUAVENUS - a global consortium of beauty queens former and current who work on Ocean Conservation & Water Preservation projects and initiatives she hopes to collaborate with women from other countries/cultures to improve discourse, relations, and Ocean conservation efforts on our planet. The immediate focus of ACQUAVENUS is to unite the Pacific Rim region countries - USA, PERU, CANADA, MEXICO, COSTA RICA, PANAMA, COLOMBIA, AUSTRALIA, The PHILIPPINES, JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, & VIETNAM.

WELLNESS EXPERT
Founder of THE BIRKIN INSTITUTE.
THE BIRKIN INSTITUTE
COUTURE SELF-HELP
I founded THE BIRKIN INSTITUTE to share what I've learned through a high-end social club meets modern ladies' Finishing School style self-help curriculum with a luxury feel. I knew my learnings were universal for all women/femmes and I wanted to create a global community of women who heal themselves and then heal the world.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was my self-help empire. I started with healing myself and sharing my learnings in a series of books centered around self-love & inner trust, wealth & abundance, and love, romance, & dating. As a life path 3, The Communicator, I knew I was on to something. My self-help books Workin For A Birkin, Breathwork At Tiffany's, and Red Bottoms & Rose Quartz are some of my greatest achievements.
Through the creation of the corporate entity Monarch & Cygnet Holdings I have deepened my investment. A vehicle for wellness investments in the form of wellness centered media, commerce, and real estate- it stands to make an impact in the +$4 trillion Wellness industry. I will live my mantra, "Wellness is a daily luxury." and build the type of world I want to live in.
