Chiara was born in Virginia and spent the first half of her life abroad before returning to the United States in 2012. With American, Italian, and British heritage, she began her modeling journey at 18 after a local photographer shared her photos with her mother agency. Following the pandemic, she launched her career in New York City and moved to Los Angeles in 2023, where she fell in love with California’s lifestyle and opportunities.

CHIARA BALLARD

Beyond modeling, Chiara is passionate about cooking and experiments with global cuisines. She has a pet dog, who she adores, and she enjoys making pottery, drawing, painting, and visiting museums. An avid reader and music lover, she’s often inspired by both when working on her own creative projects. Chiara is also pursuing an online degree in business, which she plans to complete within the next year. To her, modeling is an exciting blend of art and self-expression.
