Over the course of her modeling career, Posada has modeled and walked the runway for various prominent swimwear and lifestyle labels, including Paradizia Swimwear, Babalú Swimwear, Irgus Swimwear, Mapalé, and UJeans. In 2012, after six years as a core model for Bésame, she was named the official face of the brand's main catalog. Beyond catalog and commercial shoots, she has appeared in print editorials and cover features for fashion magazines, expanding her portfolio to include design collaborations and promotional work across North and South America.

Music Videos and Media Work

In addition to print and runway work, Posada gained mainstream international exposure through featured roles in popular Latin music videos. In 2011, she starred in the official music video for Puerto Rican artist Don Omar's hit single "Taboo." She followed this in 2012 by starring in Colombian singer Maluma's music video for "Obsesión."
