Astrid Munoz was born in 1974 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She is a Puerto Rican supermodel.

Biography and Career :

She has two younger siblings, and was raised by very traditional and strict parents (her father is a nuclear engineer).Her father was a nuclear engineer and her mother a retired executive secretary and actually housewife.
Astrid Munoz has been beautiful her whole life, and as such, her mom and dad spent most of their energy keeping the boys away.

At the age of 14, Astrid Munoz was approached by a representative for a modeling studio based in Spain and was offered the chance to work there as a full-fledged model. Her protective parents immediately turned down that offer, forcing Astrid Munoz to continue with her education and delay any potential modeling gigs un til she was several years older.

Modelling Allowed :

As expected, as soon as she was allowed by her folks, Astrid Munoz decided to take a stab at a modeling career. Munoz spent several years establishing herself as a familiar face to casting directors and modeling agencies, until a modeling agent suggested that she move to France. Shortly after, she broke through into the big time - landing magazine covers and prestigious ad spots as well as an invitation to sign with the Elite Modeling Agency.

Astrid Munoz - The Supermodel

Astrid Munoz spent the next several years working in France as an in-demand model, taking jobs at fashion shows for companies like Christian Dior and Ralph Lauren. In 2001, Astrid Munoz relocated to her current home, New York City, where she signed with Next Modeling Agency.

Though it may seem like Astrid Munoz ascended through the modeling ranks quickly, it's been over a decade since she first got into the business. The disciplined work ethic that was ingrained in her by her parents has served her well over the years, and Astrid Munoz is clearly one of the few women who walk the catwalk that could actually be considered a role model for younger girls.

When she's not working, Astrid Munoz enjoys rock climbing, cooking and amateur photography. She currently works for the modeling agency IMG Models NY-Paris.
