She won the modeling contest for FORD Agency in her native country and she became the Argentinian representative in the international contest SUPERMODEL OF THE WORLD which took place in U.S.  Soon after, just turned 15, she was offered a modeling contract to work for FORD models in Tokyo, Japan.


Cecilia traveled the world.  At the age of 16, she modeled in Spain (Madrid and Barcelona) for the period of one year. Moved and worked in Milan, Italy where she became the image for the Ad.

Cecilia's professional experience at such an early age, charisma, natural beauty, fluency in four languages, brain, and talent was a perfect combination of a TV star. Her mother, who was also a former model and a famous TV personality in Argentina, decided to incorporate Cecilia.  

In 1996, Cecilia went to New York City and was offered to join ELITE model agency. While still modeling, Cecilia started working with young photographers doing the sets, styling , hair and make-up.
