Tell us about yourself

I am from New Jersey and I am 19 years old. I played tennis for 10 years until I decided to stop that path and focus on the bigger goals I wanted to achieve in life.

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I had been a brand ambassador for Hollister around two years ago and just felt the desire to start to pick up modeling again.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to be a role model for anyone who is interested in the modeling field. I want to be able to show others that they can achieve anything they desire to do in life.

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?

Being your own kind of beautiful is loving who you are inside and out, and having confidence in yourself. It allows you to know you’re worth.

How would you describe your fashion style?

My fashion style changes a lot, I love all styles but also love putting together my own outfits and some that can be trendy.

Who or what inspires you?

My mother inspires me to be the best person I can be and continue to achieve all my goals in life to show her you can do anything you love if you put all your effort and heart into it.

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?

My advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling is keeping options open to work with a variety of different photographers that can help you build your confidence and discover which styles of poses you like best. Don't let people stop you from pursuing what you love.

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.

I felt myself always comparing myself to others which made my self esteem drop but then really thought about it and realized everyone is different and beautiful in their own way.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I think what makes me beautiful is my personality and smile. I am very friendly, love laughing and having a great time with friends.

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?

Confidence doesn't come so quick than most think, some of these things helped me realize my worth, and how beautiful a person can be. Think about all the amazing and positive things your body and mind tell you to believe about yourself in positive ways and to do things you enjoy or want to accomplish your goals in life. Your overall spirit connects you with friends and family that can also help build confidence. We all should focus on the uniqueness inside us that makes us human, and that it is very important to know you’re worth.
