[5] After being contacted through an email by a casting agent who had seen her look online,[3] Harvard successfully auditioned for the reality television show America's Next Top Model Cycle 12.

Her roommates in the Upper East Side New York City home were Isabella (Kelly Marie) Falk, Kortnie Coles, Sandra Nyanchoka, London (Lauren) Levi-Nance, Natalie Pack and Celia Ammerman.

Over her stay, Harvard received four first call-outs[8] and was selected to participate in two challenge prizes won by fellow contestant Celia Ammerman.

[11] Despite Harvard's (and Aminat Ayinde's) better performances in the CoverGirl commercial, Teyona Anderson was ultimately crowned the twelfth winner of America's Next Top Model.

Throughout the competition, Harvard developed her own perfume, performed in a music video for her song "Underwater", won two challenges, received two first call-outs and survived her first-ever bottom two appearance over Laura Kirkpatrick from America's Next Top Model Cycle 13: the "Petite Edition".

In June 2009, Harvard signed with the Los Angeles-based Nous Model Management,[1] but is no longer included in the agency's current roster.

[12] Since ANTM, Harvard has modelled for KarmaLoop, walked at the 2012 New York Fashion Week for Gemma Kahng and Malan Breton, and was featured in a spread for ONE Magazine.

[citation needed] Harvard married her boyfriend of seven years, Jeremy Burke, in San Luis Obispo, California, in late October 2021.
