Bio:

Allie Ayers Lindsey is an entrepreneur and model from Snyder, Okla. She began modeling as a teenager and at age 24 was featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit as a finalist in the 2018 Sports Illustrated Swim Search. Using that momentum, she launched Bissy Swim, a made-to-order swimwear brand founded with a focus on  sustainability and diversity, issues that have plagued the fashion industry. Her newest venture, The Model Coaches, has an even more personal slant. Through this mentoring platform, Allie encourages other models to take control of and better navigate their careers while helping build confidence and self-love. Allie lives on a farm with her husband Dusty in Tonkawa Oklahoma and both have plans to take their pilots license to be able to fly to her parents land across Oklahoma.
