Modeling Pennywell has been an Ebony Fashion Fair Model, like ANTM alumna Wendy Wiltz and has modeled with Robert Wright Photography. She has also been the victim of a scam where she was led to believe she would compete for a $50,000 contract but the "producers" attempted to make contestants sleep with them.. After auditioning at least 2 or 3 times per cycle since Cycle 2 she made it on the show, with Tyra Banks telling the eliminated finalists that they should take her as an example. She began at the top of the pack but began slipping from the 4th week of competition. She was kept on until the 8th elimination where after being sick she was criticized for her "fake" commercial and sent home, being told by Tyra Banks that she was a survivor and would survive it. During the show she won a featured spread in Seventeen alongside Isis King and Sheena Sakai. She has also been in two movies. She has also appeared on the Tyra Banks Show, at the end of the Modelville 3 episode, where she discussed her huge number of try-outs and the fact that she got caught in a modeling scam.
