ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Our founder, Melissa Moody, has over 45 years of experience working in the modeling and entertainment industries. Melissa started EXCEL in 1986 to share her knowledge and then 14+ years of experience with aspiring models and actors.
The first 25 years of EXCEL's students learned about us from previous students' testimonies. We have had the privilege of teaching our students' children and even grandchildren!!!
