Glittering career beckons for Northside beauty

Friday, 04 April 2008

A NORTHSIDE beauty can look forward to a very bright future once her Leaving Cert exams are out of the way this summer.
For Nasrin Leahy (18), from Sutton, it would be fair to say that the exam is the most important thing in her life just now.
However, Nasrin will have a lot of options open to her when she eventually leaves Pobalscoil Neasain in Baldoyle.
A glittering career in the world of modelling clearly beckons for the stunningly, attractive Northsider if that is her chosen career path.
Last week Nasrin appeared on TV3s ‘Diary of a Model’ programme, alongside the late Katy French.
Already she is signed with the Morgan booking agency in Dublin and associate agency Next in America with bookings in Los Angeles, New York and London.
Nasrin intends to head to New York once she has completed her Leaving Cert.
“I want to get New York out of my system and work there for the summer,” she told Northside People.
“But I reckon I’ll then return to Ireland and go to university.
“I definitely intend to get a degree; it’s something I can fall back on.”

Nasrin started modelling when she was 14-years-of-age after being one of the finalists in the Ford/Ballygowan Supermodel of the Year 1995 competition.
But given the untimely and shocking death of Katy French, she is not worried about a career in the modelling industry.
“I was shocked to hear of Katy French’s death like everybody else,” said Nasrin.
“But I’ve actually been working in modelling for the last three years now, including last year in London, and I haven’t run into any problems yet.
“I believe your friends are very important and who you hang around with, and of course your family.
“My mum is my best friend and she’s always there for me.”
However, modelling is not the only career option that Nasrin has open to her, because not only is she beautiful, she can also sing.
She has been singing since she was very young, having been classically trained in voice and baroque recorder.
The teenage beauty is also currently working on piano and vocals for her compositions.
“Since I’ve been very young, music has always been very important to me, even more so than modelling,” added Nasrin.
“I like lots of different music, but indie music is my favourite, although I also like classic singers with big voices like Ella Fitzgerald.”
Whatever career path Nasrin decides upon, one thing seems certain: a star is born.
