Far and few models have a story as academically compelling as that of Jarah Mariano.

The Hawaii-born and Cali-raised Jarah is a stunning beauty, and although she has been modeling since the age of 15, she made sure her college backup plan was steady in place. With a flourishing career that’s allowed her to be featured in Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret, just to name a few, she hasn’t had to cash in on her Pace University education just yet.

The worst thing to hear when I am on a date is.. any details regarding them and their sexual past.

I know someone is a keeper when they… put me first and make me feel safe.

The best text message I ever received was…. probably something horrible from an ex so I knew that he wasn’t a keeper.

When trying to grab someone’s attention I…make eye contact, then completely ignore them.
