Tell us about yourself

I’m from Bakersfield California and I am 15 years old. I love animals, skating, biking, traveling, and hiking. The outdoors amaze me and my favorite season is fall because it is so beautiful. 

What is your biggest dream?

I couldn’t say what my biggest dream is because I have multiple. Of course one is being a model I just love how it boost my confidence but I do also have a dream of traveling the world and even being a professional basketball player. 

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

To me being your own kind of beautiful is being yourself. Understanding that it doesn’t matter what others think about you because you know the way you want to live life.  

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I started a couple of months ago taking little steps to get better/ finding people in my area who were photographers  

What is your dream brand to model for?

My dream brand to model for is forever 21 or Nike 

How would you describe your fashion style?

I like being different so I don’t necessarily wear jeans and a t-shirt all the time however I do sometimes. I also just wear sweats on the weekend

How important is self-awareness and confidence to you in your everyday life?

In my opinion, it’s one of the most important things you should apply to your everyday life. Being confident not only helps your attitude but it can also help others. Self-awareness is also important as it ensures/brings together your day.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I would say the thing that makes me beautiful is my ability to show empathy to other people. I put myself in their shoes and I do my best to help them feel better.

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

I would say that it takes a while it really does. I started dealing with confidence issues in the sixth grade. I hated my height I hated my weight. That seems like such a young age to start dealing with those types of issues but I did. As I got older no matter how many compliments I got I still didn’t have the confidence. What it comes down to is you. No matter how many compliments you get or how many people tell you you're beautiful, none of it will matter if you don’t believe it yourself so start small. If you have something you want to wear that you're too scared of wearing wear it. Stand up tall and believe in yourself.
