“Being a model was my dream and thanks to The International Model University I learned how to put on make-up properly, how to pose for the camera and how to walk on a runway. It seemed so hard at first, but Clarissa Burt made it so easy to learn what I had to know to become a model.”
-Tyler, 17

There’s no doubt that my working with Clarissa Burt has made me a better person inside and out.  Her Miss Universe organization was impeccable…she is the epitome of grace and elegance.
-Annalisa

Winning Miss Universe was the best thing that ever happened to me!   Learning how to do my makeup properly, how to pose and walk on the runway help my self-esteem immensely.  The best part was doing the pageant on live television so all of my friends could see me!  I can never thank Clarissa enough.
-Sonia

“IMU taught my daughter everything you need to know about the modeling industry. As parents we didn’t know where to start. Clarissa helped not only get our daughter ready technically, but she taught the ins and outs of the modeling world so we would know what to expect.”
-Shannon V.

An adventurous tale that will inspire your soul and awaken your heart. Meet Karl, an entrepreneur and family man with an adventurous streak, who just realized success after years of learning through trial and error. Greeting you at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, he’s accompanied by life’s greatest nemesis: anxiety and fear. As he works out his trepidation along the ever changing terrain of the mountain, his mind shifts from his past experiences to his present journey. Along the trek, he finds answers to the questions of how he got there and more importantly seeks where he will go next.

This swift, page-turning parable is filled with chilling metaphors and symbolic inspiration which will challenge you to believe that our dreams are realities just waiting for us to get there.
