Elizabeth Montana: Fashion Junkie Since Grade School
As mentioned, Joe’s daughter passionately immersed in the world of fashion since her early school days. Her mother, Jennifer, who also worked as a model in New York and Paris, said, “I would never suggest it for my daughter,” but it was only because Elizabeth was emotionally stable. She further said about the industry,
In this business, as crazy as it sounds, you can’t take things personally.
In Feb 2005, Elizabeth found herself in the Look Talent Agency. There, the then-emerging fashion junkie gradually began creating her portfolio with test photoshoots captured by professional photographers.
She also reflected on her journey of balancing the modeling demands and school life,
I’m interested in whatever work I can get right now. So far, I’ve been building my portfolio, taking some test pictures. I’ve been on a few casting calls. It’s fun — although I’ve had to rush out of school and change in my car

Following high school, the celebrity daughter attended her dad’s alma mater, the University of Notre Dame, and earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology in 2009. She initially had a plan to study acting in college. After receiving an acceptance from college, Elizabeth said of her then-budding-modeling career,
I want to focus on this as much as possible. I would definitely relocate or travel for work.
She also said that her father’s popularity as the greatest quarterback of all time didn’t give any substantial boost to her burgeoning fashion career,
A lot of people don’t make the connection. I guess there’s not that many football fans in fashion.
