As a former commercial print model, JerMara experienced firsthand the beauty and challenges of the fashion industry. While her passion for style and beauty remains strong, she also recognized that being a “supermodel” is about more than image—it is about being an example of how to live.
For JerMara, a true Supermodel is not defined solely by appearance but by character, purpose, and service—beginning with devotion to The Most High and extending to how we treat our fellow man.
This conviction led her to found The Supermodel Society, a platform that celebrates beauty in action and empowers others to shine through faith, purpose, and service.
JerMara’s work reflects her passion for faith, entrepreneurship, and personal growth. She is the author of High Value: The Prayer of a Queen, a book on Esther blending scholarly insight with spiritual encouragement, and the creator of Embark: Charting Your Course to Entrepreneurship—a curriculum series equipping teens with practical business skills.

A native of Southern California, JerMara now resides in Texas with her husband and two children. She is committed to empowering others to live with excellence, walk in their God-given purpose, and become true Supermodels—those who reflect the light of God through their faith, work, and service.
