Cailin Alyssa

NON UNION 

Cailin Alyssa is a former Division I athlete who competed in swimming, crew, and water polo at the University of Southern California, where she also earned a double master’s degree. Her dedication, competitive edge, and discipline carried seamlessly into her career, where she has spent over many years producing VIP experiences and immersive brand activations at global sporting and entertainment events—from Formula 1 and the Super Bowl to international music festivals and esports championships.

A passionate equestrian, Cailin has played horse polo in Argentina, Santa Barbara, and Palm Springs, drawn to the sport’s powerful blend of precision, elegance, and adrenaline. Her creative eye, global perspective, and ability to deliver high-touch, high-impact experiences make her a standout both behind the scenes and in front of the camera.

In 2022, Cailin was diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer that led to the loss of half her nose, all supporting structures, and part of her cheek. She underwent a year and a half of intensive facial reconstruction, including cartilage grafts from her ear and ribs, and endured 12 weeks of radiation treatment. Through this journey of healing and rebuilding, she discovered a deeper strength and sense of self. She was featured on The Doctors as a unique and successful case and now advocates for skin cancer awareness—especially among women—urging early checks and self-care.

Cailin has recently jumped back into modeling, with hopes of being an inspiration with a cause—reminding others that strength is beautiful and that healing is powerful.
