After the skating rinks, she’s now conquering the runway.

Verniece Enciso, a champion skater, found another love and source of achievements: modeling. She was named Female Model of the Year in Ateneo de Manila University’s Mirage Fashion Show last January 29, 2011. Almost a hundred hopefuls auditioned but only twenty fresh faces made it to the finals. The event is an annual fashion show for high school students.

Sparking the ramp with her sweet smiles and fabulous outfits, Verniece bested students coming from International Christian Academy, Poveda, St. Paul and Miriam College. She won a one-year modeling contract from the prestigious Mercator Model and Artist Management.
