From gracing the covers of magazines as a Wilhelmina model to running the show behind the scenes, Cheyney Barrieau has lived more than one dream career. Today she’s the Director of Talent and Hospitality at 360 Marketing and Events in the greater Hartford area, where she proudly calls herself the bridge between chefs and the marketing world, aka the 'Director of Awesome'. With a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, Cheyney jokes that she left the “not eating” business for the “eating” business — but she’s also candid about the modeling industry’s tough realities, saying it’s not something she’d ever push her kids toward.
Christine met Cheyney at Dunkin’ Park during a food event (and yes, Cheyney swears she was Team Christine in the taco-making contest!). Check out the taco debacle video below and listen above as Christine and Salt chat with this week’s badass woman.
