- Sasha Azevedo was born in San Diego, California and grew up in Charleston, South Carolina. She discovered her love for performance early in life as a baton twirler and gymnast, and is equally passionate about competitive sports and the great outdoors.
She began modeling at age 11, was graduated from Trident Technical College with a degree in Business, and traveled the world as a magician's assistant aboard Princess and Norwegian Cruises. In her free time - when not being sawn in half or levitated - she honed her skills as a nature photographer.
As a model, she has appeared in numerous hairstyle magazines, hairstyling DVDs, and professional salon books. As an actress, she has appeared in the Lifetime Television series Army Wives (2007), various independent films, and the feature film The Notebook (2004). Her professional experience includes work in the promotion and trade show industry with events such as NASCAR, the Family Circle Cup, and Live 8: A Worldwide Concert Event Presented by Nokia (2005). A versatile talent, Sasha also recorded with The Misplaced Comedy Group of Florida and mambo danced in the musical Damn Yankees!
As a seasoned performer and model, Sasha approaches each new project with passion and enthusiasm. She divides her time between modeling, acting, and photography.

- A smile that lights up the room
- Lived with epilepsy for nearly twenty years. Underwent a life-changing brain surgery at age 21. Didn't start driving until age 23.
- Her remarkable recovery was celebrated as a medical success, earning her spots on the covers of Health & Science in The Post and Courier (2001), a feature in Woman's World Magazine (2002), and a decade later, the cover of Charleston City Paper (2009), which revisited her life following brain surgery.
- Her heritage is Portuguese, Welsh, English and German.
- Life is a gift. Never take it for granted.
- I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise... it's a consistent reward for victory!
- To believe in yourself and to follow your dreams, to have goals in life and a drive to succeed, and to surround yourself with the things and the people that make you happy— this is success!
- Maturity is the fine line between life and experience.
- Too many people go through life waiting for things to happen instead of making them happen!
