| Yoanna House is the model example of Osprey perseverance, extra emphasis on the MODEL part.
While her parents were adamant about her pursuing her academics, she always had a penchant for fashion. In the early 2000s, a new show called "America’s Next Top Model" just made its debut. House stumbled upon the submission process and sent in some pictures, only to learn shortly after that she’d qualified for Cycle 2 of the series.
At the start of the show, she was known for her quirkiness and eccentricity, but 11 episodes later, host Tyra Banks announced that the 23-year-old House would be America’s Next Top Model. Learn more.

When Carolina Rodriguez (‘16) arrived at UNF, she had already started working as a nanny for Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency in Gainesville, the company’s first branch. Luckily, the company had just opened its Jacksonville location around the time she made plans to move to the First Coast and she easily transitioned roles to help pay for college.
Fast forward to 2024 ... Rodriguez now owns and operates Twinkle Toes Nanny Agencies in Jacksonville and St. Augustine after working her way up the business ladder. Learn more.
