Swim Search finalist Hillory Fields made her SI Swimsuit debut last year after being photographed by Yu Tsai in the Dominican Republic.

The open casting call alumna is a travel ICU nurse and also the founder of SBAR, an app that allows people to review hospitals they’ve worked at or traveled to.

The Arcadia, Fla., native is dedicated to giving back and building her platform to encourage women of of all shapes, sizes and ethnicities to be confident and independent. 

“I come from a family that serves and feeds our community. I made it my mission that in 2022 I would prioritize giving back and making my mark on this world by any means. I just had no clue where to start. As I got lost in my Instagram search, the Pay With Change post drew me in. That post led me to the SI Swimfluence page and I immediately just knew. On top of owning two drawers full of bikinis and never living too far away from the beach, it felt like destiny. I tried out and here I am,” she explained about her journey to the Swim Search.

Fields added that her goal was to break barriers for what a model’s day-to-day life should look like.

“There are so many working women with bigger dreams who hide behind their talents in fear of failure. Women who want to be sexy but don’t want their sex appeal to overshadow their hard work because someone in a suit deemed it inappropriate,” she continued. “But it doesn’t stop there because I don’t only represent one type of woman. I represent curvy women, chocolate women, extroverted women, independent women, alpha females, etc. It wouldn’t be a win for just me. It would be a win for every woman who relates to all the parts that make me Hillory.”

Below are four of our favorite photos from Fields’s 2022 photoshoot.
