At age 15, after being spotted by a modeling agent during a brief trip to Santa Barbara, California, Iliana returned home to San Francisco and started modeling for runway and department stores. Her Puerto Rican/German mixture and fluency in Spanish gave her versatility and talents on which she has been capitalizing. Nevertheless, education was a priority for her mom who was a proud graduate of the University of Puerto Rico with a master's degree in chemistry. It was always important to Iliana's mom that especially as a Latina female, she have more to offer than a hot bod and a beautiful face! Brains must accompany that beauty. So, when Iliana was accepted at U.C. Berkeley, she attended, majoring in psychology and Spanish literature.

Next came the move to Los Angeles, at the suggestion of an agent, where Iliana quickly got supporting roles on Baywatch, V.I.P., Pacific Blues, Moesha, a feature film, and a music video. Modeling jobs at that time ranged from Lowrider Magazine, swimwear magazines, Venus Swimwear, Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie show aired on B.E.T., to Versace runway shows...
