Jirau made her modeling debut at a fashion show for designer Wanda Beauchamp at age 16. However, she officially started working as a model on March 26, 2019, her 23rd birthday. Since then, she has modeled for top designers. On February 10, 2020, the 24 year old Puerto Rican model made her debut at New York Fashion Week, becoming one of the few models with Down syndrome to participate in this event. Her debut was covered dozens of media outlets around the world, such as Vogue Mexico, People, ¡Hola!, among others.
There is another type of Down Syndrome called Mosaic Down Syndrome, where not every cell has trisomy 21. The "classic features" are kind of pick & choose with this, some going fully undiagnosed until adulthood, when a Mosaic Downs Mom might have multiple kids all with full Down Syndrome.
