DENISE SCHAEFER BIO
My name is Denise Schaefer and I’m 24 years old. I was born in Lima, Peru and spent my childhood in between there and Piura. When I was 11, my family and I moved to California so I consider myself half Peruvian and half a California girl. I played competitive tennis growing up and have always been super into sports,I love to workout! My workout routine today consists of boxing, pilates, strength training, cardio, yoga, and tennis whenever I get the chance. I started modeling at age 19 and I moved to LA to pursue that. In LA, I started to do acting as well and have been in a few movies, which include “Bleed for This” and I’m starting in JLO’s new movie called “Second Act” coming out in December of this year. A year and a half ago, I moved to New York and I’m currently working here as a model and signed to ELITE. I have representation all over the world with modeling agencies.I am in the process of developing my own clothing line called “Marianella” which is a project named after my grandma that I hold very close to my heart and I’m excited to release when its finalized. I love to be around my friends and family, I’m a very social person and love to have fun. I’m addicted to traveling and I love having a job that takes me to so many new amazing places. I love to learn and make life as adventurous as possible. My biggest life goal is to be able to give back and make a positive change and impact on the world. I’m a firm believer that regardless of how big or small, using our platforms to help is what life is all about. I think most people aren’t even aware of how far a small act of kindness can go and most of us don’t realize our potential to help. I am very excited to join this journey of giving back and making the world a better place one step at a time with CUPeru. I love to live life to the fullest with constant gratitude in mind 🙂
