Haley Kalil made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2018 and was named co-winner of that year’s Swim Search open casting call alongside Camille Kostek. She returned for a total of four consecutive features in the magazine.

The self-proclaimed “nerd” received her bachelor of science degree in biomedical sciences and psychology from St. Cloud State University. She’s also the founder of The Nerd Herd, a company focused on empowering women to pursue STEM careers through providing resources, opportunities and education. Kalil is working on her modeling portfolio and is self-represented. Her online platform consists of stunning bikini pics, professional campaign photos and quirky videos showcasing her fun personality.

“All they did was make me feel incredible and amazing and I just couldn’t believe that these powerful women were taking the time out of their day to make me feel like even though I wasn’t a model, they wanted to know about me and hear from me,” the 30-year-old gushed about her first experience with the Swim Team. “I’m so grateful to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit for bringing me into the modeling industry, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them.”
