Sara Albert (born in 1984, in Davis, California) finished in fourth place in of the hit reality show, America's Next Top Model, created by Supermodel Tyra Banks.
Before America's Next Top Model
Albert was a full scholar at a Georgetown University, where she majored in Psychology, minored in Government and was a member of the Volleyball Varsity team. She graduated cum laude in 2005. Before she was on ANTM, Albert worked as a Marketing Assistant for the Advisory Board Company in Washington, D.C.
America's Next Top Model
Standing at 6 feet, 1 inch, Albert was the tallest contestant among the finalists on Cycle 6. It was a talent scout who encouraged Albert to audition for the show, but during the semifinals, judge Jay Manuel addressed his concern regarding Albert's height. Manuel was worried that Albert might not be able to get a lot of modeling jobs, as designers usually do not make clothes for someone who is as tall as she. Tyra Banks defended Albert, but still admitted that the average model stands between 5 feet, 9 inches and 5 feet, 11 inches. Nevertheless, Albert made it to the finals, and even though she did not have any modeling experience before the show, she was able to impress the judges with her natural talent. She worked her way up to the top 4, and some of her best work include her runway shows and the CoverGirl commercial. There were times that her passion for modeling was questioned, which often frustrated Albert, who insisted that she was just as passionate as the other girls. Albert became the tenth finalist eliminated when the judges felt that she was not good enough to be placed in the Top 3.
After ANTM
Since appearing on the show, Albert has pursued her modeling career by working with both NEXT Model Management and Elite Models.
