Modeling

Pipko was signed to Wihemina Models[2] at age 17.[3]

In 2018, she appeared in the "Perfectly Imperfect" campaign for Vizcaya Swimwear, an anti-photoshop campaign promoting positive body image.[4][5]

The Exodus Movement and support for Donald Trump

In 2016, Pipko worked for the Donald J Trump For President campaign headquarters in the Trump Tower in New York City where she met her now-husband.[6]

In December 2018, Pipko married a staffer for Trump's 2020 reelection campaign.[7]

At the start of 2019, Pipko was announced as the primary spokesperson of the newly formed group Jexodus (an apparent portmanteau of "Jewish" and "Exodus"). She describes the organization as representing millennial American Jews who purportedly have left the Democratic Party because of recent antisemitism, particularly anti-Israel remarks made by Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar, New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. The domain name for jexodus.org was created and registered on November 5, 2018.[8] Pipko credits others for having developed the term "Jexodus."[9]

On March 21, 2019, Pipko parted ways with Jexodus, and transformed the idea into a formal organization by founding "The Exodus Movement" and incorporating it as a tax exempt organization.[10] In August 2019, Pipko announced a super PAC branch had been added to the organization.[11]

Personal

Pipko is the granddaughter of Soviet-born American artist Marc Klionsky.[12]

Pipko attended Rabbi Arthur Schneier's Park East Day School.[13]

Pipko attends the Harvard Extension School in the degree program.[14]

On December 26, 2018, Pipko married Darren Centinello in West Palm Beach, Florida at the Mar-A-Lago Club.[6] At the time, Centinello was working on re-election campaign for U.S. President Donald Trump.[7] She worked on Trump's 2016 campaign for president.[7]
