TESTIMONIALS
I thought attending a workshop for the first time was an excellent learning opportunity. Along with learning more about the modeling industry, I gained a lot of confidence. It has not only helped me become the amazing model I am today, but it has also given me greater confidence in my non-modeling life.

I would say I definitely got great tips on proper model etiquette when it comes to castings or auditions, such as how to come prepared. I also learned that it’s always great to do self care, especially as a model. Very important to stay in shape, hydrated, skin clear and healthy.

I am so grateful that I spent time going through Natori’s Club “Mindset of a Model” Modeling Bootcamp! I was brand new to modeling and no idea what I was getting into or where to start. The Modeling Bootcamp taught me so many things, from how to dress and walk the runway properly, to how to communicate effectively with others and ensure that I am in safe and profitable environments! Modeling Bootcamp helped prepare me for auditions, runway shows, photo shoots and more! I am so thankful for the program and how it helped me become a successful model within a competitive industry. Alnisia is absolutely amazing and she is the best of the best!

I had a great experience at the modeling boot camp workshop! It was so nice to get together with people that had similar interests, but also learn from others who were just as excited to be there. I was able to ask questions about modeling, and get answers that maybe you don't always get the opportunity to! I was definitely able to make sure I was getting the most from the experience!

The modeling bootcamp really grounded me in finding direction and stability. When i first started modeling i didn’t know much about the industry but with the modeling bootcamp i found it to be a great help in my career today. While attending the modeling bootcamp Alnisia was calm, direct and very effective in delivering information. The modeling bootcamp didn’t only help me with my modeling career but also in my everyday life. 💕

As a professional photographer that has been published in over 80 magazines and had my work exhibited in art galleries around the world i can say that working with the models that have been trained by Alnisia at Natorie's have been some of the best. They are consistently professional, well trained, and know how to pose. But more than that they are versatile and when given a theme the consistently rise to the occasion. I would reccomend Natori's club training to anyone wanting to work in the modelling industry.

When I started out, this workshop helped me gain critical insights into the fundamentals of fashion modeling, which would otherwise have taken me much longer to learn on my own. Pulling back the curtain on the business aspects of modeling, the tactics and methodologies discussed are invaluable to emerging talent wishing to gain a competitive edge in their fashion career.

Ms. Cruz's professionalism and knowledge of the modeling world was very apparent. She is personable and I would be interested in using her expertise again.

Ms. Cruz was a motivating speaker at our fall presentation and her knowledge of the modeling industry was well accepted. My staff has used some of the techniques she has written in her book on organization skills. This is a person who goes the extra mile.

We recently worked closely with Alnisia and Natori's Club for the Spring Fashion Show. From the very beginning, Alnisia brought such vibrancy and excitement to our meetings and conversations. She had a deliberate and creative vision for her first Fashion Show in the valley. We at Kendra Scott were so proud to be able to be a featured Jewelry Designer at her show. She elevated the event with amazing models, colors, and energy. We are proud partners of Natori's Club and will continue to support such an amazing organization and all that Alnisia does.
- Paige Parsons, Kendra Scott Area Manager
I have consulted with Alnisia on several projects and found her to be way thorough person. She highly attentive to detail, ensuring that each project objectives are met on time and within projected cost.
Her work ethic is beyond reproach and refreshing to experience. I know she has had a successful modeling agency in the NY area and was licensed bonded and certified. Her models were always working for print, catalog, and television. She has great morals and values, personally and professionally; I highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for having the Charm & Royalty team as part of your original designer showcase! We appreciate the opportunity to debut our new Aria Fari collection at your event.

Ms. Cruz was a volunteer speaker at our school. She spoke with over 180 eighth graders. She was punctual and enthusiastic and her presentation was very engaging. She received positive comments from girls and boys alike.

During the process of putting together Natori’s Gala Club Fashion Show, the designers got to choose their models. This group of males and females was the most diverse casting I have encountered and this is very important to me as my brand embraces diversity in women. The casting was organized and while experience levels varied across the board, I could tell that Alnisia had prepared the models substantially. I would love to work with Alnisia again and I believe she has a huge impact on everyone she comes in contact with. She is kind, professional, organized, and experienced with having her own agency.

Alnisia Cruz was living on the East Coast when she first started teaching classes. She taught from rented space or from her own backyard about how to avoid scams and how to be professional in the modeling business. She didn't charge for the classes because, to her, it didn't seem right. She was simply sharing her knowledge.
Eventually, her classes took off and students who she had built good relationships with would often come back and ask her to represent them. When her daughter was born and some of the agencies she had worked for in the past wanted to represent her daughter, she decided to do it herself. She did her research, got licensed, and became an agent. Within three months of starting her agency, Natori's Club, named after her daughter, she had 100 clients. Cruz hopes the things she teaches can make her students successful in whatever business they want to pursue.
