In American Nexto Top Model:
Hein was chosen as one of the 13 girls to compete in New York City on America's Next Top Model.
On the show she was known for her positive personality, and unique looks being told she looks like the new mix of Denise Richards and Brooke Shields.
Although she did get criticized on her body type not being petite but not plus sized or big, she received one first call-out, two second call-outs, and three third call-outs. Hein made it to the final with Krista White.

Though the judges loved Hein's fresh face, great photos, and was said to be better in her Covergirl shoot than Krista, at the end she was the runner up because they felt that Krista White would have a better chance at an international career...
