Faith Roswell began her career unexpectedly when she was approached by a talent scout while studying for a degree in creative writing. This encounter led her to become an internationally recognized artist model. During her modeling career, Faith wrote extensively about her solo travel and adventure experiences. Her journey took a significant turn after blowing the whistle on a dangerous photographer who was later jailed. She began to look into what she could do to help freelancers, especially in creative industries, stay safe and she soon found that most of the self defense classes focused on the physical fighting which barely scratched the surface of what else was possible. Faith was inspired to develop a new approach called Armor for Life. Saith has recently been working as a researcher for one of the most popular true crime podcasts online. As a freelance writer, she specializes in travel, film, self defense, and women's rights.
