Jeisa Chiminazzo

Jeisa Chiminazzo was born April 12, 1985, in Mu?um, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The daughter of an Italian father and a German mother, Jeisa pursued modeling for the first time at the age of 13 when she attended a modeling course. It proved to be a savvy decision, as it brought her to the attention of Luciano Szafir, a famous Brazilian actor and model. Impressed by Jeisa's beauty and grace, Szafir put in a phone call to a modeling agency in Sao Paulo and within days Jeisa was signed to her first contract. Jeisa spent the remainder of the year modeling exclusively in Brazil, appearing in editorial campaigns for Elle Brazil and Toda Teen. In fact, Toda Teen was so enamored with Jeisa that they also placed her on their cover, a nearly unheard of accomplishment for a new model.
