A few of her achievements include testimonial nomination by the City of Milan to be the official spokeswoman leading the campaigns against graffiti and animal cruelty for 2005-06. Following her success abroad, Moran was cast in the Israeli "Strauss" commercial and chosen to lead the "Renuar" campaign. She has also won the title of Miss Israel.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or family:

    “Pray be always in motion. Early in the morning go and see things; and the rest of the day go and see people. If you stay but a week at a place, and that an insignificant one, see, however, all that is to be seen there; know as many people, and get into as many houses as ever you can.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “What’s fame? A fancied life in others’ breath,”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “It is turning three hundred years
    On our cisatlantic shore
    For family after family name.
    We’ll make it three hundred more”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
