While she truly did endear herself to many fans of the recently finished season of America's Next Top Model, 12th Cycle runner-up Allison Harvard is looking to the future. The aspiring model has quite a lot on her plate ever since the competition wrapped up, and it seems as though the options will keep on multiplying.
Having earned a contract offer from the Los Angeles-based Nous Model Management, the charming Allison says she has considered accepting it. However, she's still weighing out her decision to go back to school. Before she made it on America's Next Top Model, she studied art at the University of New Orleans. She put that life on hold for a shot at fame, but the question now is will she return to it.
"I can always go back to school," Allison Harvard told The Times-Picayune on a telephone interview. "I'm in school for art. But even before that I've been doing things on my own anyway. I can't live my life without it. It'll be something I'll keep with me all the time."
Establishing herself as a photographer, Harvard has always been quite famous on the World Wide Web ever since she posted her work online It's through these pictures she took of herself which led her to be called to take part in
America's Next Top Model. Still, it serves as her art and a medium to give life to her ideas.
"I have these ideas, but you don't really know how to approach anybody else about executing them. When you don't have anybody else, you use yourself. That's what that was. I have plenty of other pictures of friends or people I found interesting or beautiful."
As for her modeling career, Harvard thought long and hard about what she really wanted to do. "I'm not going to be 21 again. I can always go back to school again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that's presenting so many outlets for me to use right now. I'm definitely all for it. I'm going to certainly try."
