"America's Next Top Model" and Acting Career
Tipton joined the 11th cycle of "America's Next Top Model" after being discovered through the popular social networking site MySpace.

Tipton took their feedback to heart and began infusing more passion into her performances. As a result, she consistently ranked among the top three contestants for seven consecutive weeks. However, Tipton forgot her lines during a commercial shoot in the finale and was eliminated, leaving Samantha Potter and McKey Sullivan to compete for the first place.
After the show, Tipton signed contracts with Los Angeles branches of "Ford Models" and "Abrams Artists" agencies.
