Tetro is a former model who worked for local agent Maysie Bestall-Cohen. After five years of modelling, she became a casting agent and started her own modelling company "62 Models" in 1994.[3] She then bought the casting agency "The People Shop", with clients including Hayley Holt, Marc Ellis, Temepara George, Wendy Petrie, Michael Campbell, and Doug Howlett. She manages a staff of six.

Television producer Julie Christie then cast Tetro to appear on the reality series Treasure Island, where she stranded fellow contestants Peggy Bourne and Simon Doull.

She negotiated the contract for Dan Carter as a model for Jockey Underwear, and supplies every model for Farmers advertisements.

In late 2008, TV3 NZ announced New Zealand's Next Top Model, a spinoff of the successful U.S. series America's Next Top Model. Tetro was cast as the main judge and host on the show alongside Colin Mathura-Jeffree and Chris Sisarich.[4]

She also features as a guest judge on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 14.[5]

Personal life edit

In 2018 Tetro was flown to Antarctica by Antarctica New Zealand as a consultant, which caused comment as her husband was on the board of directors for Antarctica New Zealand.[7]
