My most marked characteristic is the ability to never give up. Even though I may not be able to accomplish everything I would like to, I always try to find new ways of achieving my goals.
Also, I am never mad for a long time. My brain always tries to find excuses for me to forgive a person and to say, “I am sorry.”

Ami Vashi’s plane was leaving in a couple hours, and she was calm when she told me that she could text me from Hong Kong if there was anything else that I needed, and that she’ll see me in a month. Ami has had an amazing life for her young years. She is an exotic beauty who was born in Los Angeles and received her degree from USC in finance. She was later recruited as a financial analyst in San Francisco. While traveling in Mumbai, she was scouted for the Miss India compeitition.
Studio 838 opened the fall season with a complete vertical campaign, from print to television commercial spots, for high-end jewelry company Highglow Jewelers. Also reinvented in September was starlet Rachelle LeFevre of “Twilight” fame who shot with Ash at one of Bel Air’s most infamously sumptuous residences to produce an editorial that, like her character in the films, is truly timeless.
