Modeling

Pipko was signed to Wihemina Models[1] at age 17.[2]

In 2018, she appeared in the "Perfectly Imperfect" campaign for Vizcaya Swimwear, an anti-photoshop campaign promoting positive body image.[3][4]

She has appeared in Maxim, DT, Esquire, and L’officiel

In the early stages of her career she was often compared to Emily Ratajkowski, with many noting their similar appearances.[5]

She has said that her political work and views are what cut her career short, though she made an appearance in a spread in QP magazine in 2019. When asked what it meant to her to be modelling again, she said “This is about showing young girls that they can do anything they want to do. From modeling to politics and everything in between."[6]

Author

In the summer of 2020, it was reported by Page Six and Fox News that Pipko would be releasing a new book titled Finding My Place on August 25th, 2020. [7] She has said that her aim with this book is to “heal our country.”[8]

Pipko self published two books of poetry as a teenager. The second book, About You, was named on a list of "best books to read before you sleep" by Thrive Global.

Political

In 2016, Pipko worked for the Donald J Trump For President campaign headquarters in the Trump Tower in New York City where she met her now-husband.[9]

At the start of 2019, Pipko was announced as the primary spokesperson of the newly formed group Jexodus (an apparent portmanteau of "Jewish" and "Exodus").

On March 21, 2019, Pipko parted ways with Jexodus, and transformed the idea into a formal organization by founding "The Exodus Movement" and incorporating it as a tax exempt organization.[10] In August 2019, Pipko announced a super PAC branch had been added to the organization.[11]

She told OK! magazine "When I got thrown into the political world, I knew the only way for me to both survive and thrive would be to create something meaningful. So I put my efforts into fighting for the Jewish people an against anti-Semitism. [12]

She has regularly spoken out about Antisemitism and her goals of fighting hatred of any kind.

On fighting injustices in our country, Pipko told Fox News, "It's very easy to find problems going on right now in our society. No one's going to deny that things are upside down. I'm fighting anti-Semitism every single day. I still get swastikas sent to my direct messages once a week. I think when supporting America, in my eyes, it's more patriotic of me to stand against those things because I know America doesn't stand for that," she said.[13]

Personal

Pipko grew up a competitive figure skater, competing nationally until the age of fifteen when an ankle injury took her out of the sport.  [14]

Pipko is a first generation American and the granddaughter of Soviet-born American artist Marc Klionsky.[15]

Pipko attended Rabbi Arthur Schneier's Park East Day School.[16]

On December 26, 2018, Pipko married Darren Centinello in West Palm Beach, Florida at the Mar-A-Lago Club.[9] At the time, Centinello was working on re-election campaign for U.S. President Donald Trump.[17] She worked on Trump's 2016 campaign for president.[17]
