  Model
  Meghan

Coombs
 –
 beauGful,
 intelligent,
 and
 vibrant
 in
 front
 of
 the

camera.
  Or
  maybe,
  based
  on
  the
  fortune
  cookie
  reading

posted
 on
 her
 Facebook
 page,
 this
 was
 a
 simple
 mamer
 of

cosmic
 fate?

 Meghan,
 who
 works
 as
 a
 help
 desk
 team
 leader

for
 Mercedes
 Benz
 Financial
 Services,
 said
 she
 enjoys
 the

creaGvity
 of
 the
 modeling
 process.

 “I
 enjoy
 being
 out
 of
 my
 element,”
 Megan
 said,

explaining
 what
 she
 loves
 most
 about
 modeling.
 “I
 enjoy

being
 able
 to
 be
 the
 characters
 that
 are
 nothing
 like
 me,

and
 also
 like
 to
 see
 exactly
 who
 I
 am
 in
 photos.”

 An
 avid
 photographer
 who
 has

 always
 enjoyed

taking
 photos,
 Meghan
 said
 she
 got
 her
 start
 in
 modeling

based
  on
  free
  Gme,
  and
  curiousity
  about
  being
  on
  the

other
  side
  of
  the
  lens,
  adding
  that
  a
  group
  photo
  shoot

that
  she
  parGcipated
  in
  at
  the
  Yankee
  Air
  Museum
  was

one
 of
 her
 favorite
 modeling
 experiences
 to
 date.

  For
  models
  who
  are

  Meghan

advised
 them
 to
