While attending a fundraiser as a young adult, Cornielle was approached by the director of a prestigious modeling agency. Runways, print campaigns and other prestigious modeling gigs led him to acting, which became his "true" passion. Through his professional and philanthropic work, Celestin aims to inspire and empower individuals to pursue their passions and be the change they wish to see in the world. He passionately pursues acting, producing, and entrepreneurial endeavors which include a jewelry line called Jennifer Jones Collection.
