Coca Rocha was born in Vancouver; however, at a very young age she moved to Richmond where she was later discovered at an Irish dance competition. Though unfamiliar with the fashion industry at the time, she soon acquired knowledge and has become an international success. Being one of the most well-liked models of our time and speaking out against eating disorders has made her an inspiring Canadian woman who was once pressured by the fashion industry to be thin. Coca Rocha is a real girl with real ambitions and a role model for young girls of this generation.

Fact: Coco owns a puppy named Peekaboo!
