Meet Cassandra Leigh, the confident and radiant Nalu Babe lighting up Buffalo, NY.
Known on Instagram as @Cassandra.leighh, Cassandra is all about embracing her strength, creativity, and bold energy. At 28, she’s a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to chase it with style, heart, and passion, both in her modeling career and her everyday life.
For Cassandra, being a Nalu Babe is more than just wearing beautiful swimwear, it’s about confidence, empowerment, and celebration. “There’s something empowering about showcasing designs that celebrate all body types,” she shares. She loves being part of a creative team that brings bold, playful, and authentic energy to every event, proving that Nalu Babes aren’t just models, they’re ambassadors of positivity and fun.
Outside of the modeling world, Cassandra loves to stay active, social, and creative. She spends her free time socializing with friends, hitting the gym, and experimenting with new ways to challenge herself physically—most recently falling in love with hot Pilates. Cassandra also enjoys reading, sometimes finishing an entire series in just a week, and painting custom “paint by numbers” pieces of her beloved pets, decorating her space with personal touches that make her feel at home.
Describing herself as compassionate, motivated, and ambitious, Cassandra has a clear vision for her life and her career. Her biggest accomplishment so far? Walking in Miami Swim Week. “It felt like the moment all my hard work, confidence, and growth came together,” she recalls. That runway wasn’t just a milestone, it was a reminder of how far she’s come and how ready she is for everything still to come.
Cassandra is determined to take her modeling career wherever the sunshine, good vibes, and exciting opportunities lead her. From runways to beach shoots around the world, she’s all about embracing growth, adventure, and the unexpected. Beyond modeling, she’s currently pursuing a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner degree, proving that ambition and passion aren’t limited to one path.
Her life is a balance of creativity, movement, and connection. Between socializing with friends, reading, painting, and staying fit, Cassandra makes space for both personal growth and fun. Her energy is magnetic, and she effortlessly inspires those around her to be confident, adventurous, and unapologetically themselves.
Cassandra leaves our younger readers with empowering advice: “Don’t let other people’s opinions shrink your shine. Chase what makes you feel alive, wear what makes you feel confident, and follow the dreams that light you up. The moment you stop living for other people’s approval is the moment you start truly living for yourself.” With her bold spirit, ambition, and radiant confidence, Cassandra Leigh is the ultimate Nalu Babe, showing us all how to shine brightly and fearlessly.
