The 26 year old model has had a thrilling career with countless clients, including K&N Filters | Thrillers are action packed with a dash of drama, an air of mystery, and a spot of horror. Jess Harbour’s modeling career has included big name clients, tiny surprises, and grand adventures. Her life plays out like a movie: “There are moments when I have been riding a jet ski, driving a boat, or flying down the road on a beautiful Harley.” She has taken part in makeup campaigns, energy drink promotions, and racing events. She has posed in athletic wear and bikinis—on beaches and mountains. Jess has been all over the world; even now, she never knows what lies just beyond the horizon. Her range of clients is mind bending. She, herself, would describe it as, “A LOT. Some of my favorite traveling spokesmodel contracts include Rockstar Energy, Nexen Tire, Makita Powertools, and Corona Boxing, even being the ring girl for the highly talked about Floyd Mayweather Connor McGregor fight. Some of my favorite ad campaigns include Hard Rock Hotel, every bikini company, Stila Cosmetics, and of course the K&N Filters calendar for four years.” Her modeling resume is maxed out, and K&N is inked on that page a number of times. 
Jess has collaborated with K&N for the K&N calendar for four years in a row | Jess connected with K&N through Rockstar Energy. Her first booking dawned in the early morning, but she was down for it. She recounts, “We had a fun shoot in the dirt with a 4:00 AM call time!” The dust flew on this drama filled set. Jess rocked it out, and a long standing relationship was born. She shares, “I think it's super rad that I get to shoot with and be a part of K&N calendars four years in a row - I am very grateful.”She was born in sunny San Diego. A hot shot in high school, Jess maintained over a 4.0. Psychology was her field of study at San Diego State University. Her college years were a mashup of homework and modeling gigs. Jess admits, “I would take 18 units, work a 40 hour a week, full-time job, and model on the side as a hobby. I definitely took naps sitting up in class.” Her schedule was non-stop; even her snooze fests were exciting. 
Jess poses with her French bulldog, Lola, whose "winking game is on point." | Every thriller has its bit of horror. Jess’s moment came early in her career. She thought she caught her big break when Toyota approached her: “All I heard was I was ‘modeling for Toyota!’ I thought I had made it. Come to find out, I was one of those annoying people with an iPad trying to get your email. I was so embarrassed and disappointed, but it made me hungry to try to get actual gigs.” This tiny letdown fueled her fire, inevitably becoming a small stop on an incredible journey. Jess’ job is fast paced—she flies every week. It’s intense and spontaneous: she travels the globe. She’s made memories, funny, happy ones. Once, she recalls, “I spent two hours in hair and makeup for an athletic wear campaign. In the first outfit, a rogue wave completely took me out and drenched me head to toe. I was a frozen soggy mess. It makes me laugh now.” There have also been times when Jess was able to bring her French bulldog, Lola, to photoshoots. With her face splashed on calendars, billboards, and television, Jess Harbour’s career has been nothing short of thrilling, and the adventure is not over yet. When asked about her future plans, Jess responds, “Potentially get my Ph.D., potentially start a family, potentially take over the world... potentially all of the above!” IG Handle: @jessharbour
