Sports Illustrated model Clarissa Bowers is bring brains and beauty to the Swimsuit Issue this year

The 22-year-won is currently enrolled as a full-time student at Vanderbilt University, where she is working on a degree in neuroscience — but this week, she's took a break from classes to pose for a very sexy beach photoshoot in Turks and Caicos.

A finalist in this year's #SwimSearch competition, the Umatilla, Florida native ditched the books and whipped out the bikinis for several sexy swimwear shots which the magazine is already teasing online ahead of the magazine's spring release.

Clarissa is no ordinary science nerd. Though she's studying neuroscience and is also the head of a postoperative patient care unit for the charitable organization Healing the Children, she's also a former Miss World contestant, having competed for the US in 2017.

She's also signed to Wilhelmina models.

Last year, the multi-hyphenate tried out for Sports Illustrated's #SwimSearch, and now she's made it to the top six finalists who will appear in the upcoming issue, when a winner will be crowned.

This week, she's in Turks and Caicos posing up a storm for the issue, modeling several different swimwear looks.
