Melanie Gaydos suffers from ectodermal dysplasia, a condition that affects her teeth and hair.

The physical evidence of her disease made her deal with negative comments, criticisms, and pity-filled gazes. But she was too determined to let any of these come in her way to success.

After completing her education on Arts, she started applying for Craiglist Ads of 'Looking For Unique Models'. She does not consider her medical condition as a misfortune and is definitely an epitome of courage and determination.
