Tell us about yourself

I like to say I’m a Jersey girl with California values. I’m 23 years old with a love for music, dance, fashion, and animals! I grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey and left home at 17 to study performing arts in California for four years. During this time I did a lot of volunteering with animals, marching and standing up for what I believe in, I worked in a bakery and focused highly on self-care.

Currently I teach dance and gymnastics part time to children and want to continue to be a positive soul in this world.

What is your biggest dream?

I want to be a positive influence and representation for young girls and women ESPECIALLY of color!

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

To be confident in yourself and let the unique qualities about yourself shine!

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I’ve done photo shoot for local photographers and their websites along with shoots for dance and theatre schools.

What is your dream brand to model for?

FashionNova 

How would you describe your fashion style?

Classy meets flower child

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

Extremely important, it’s all about how I carry myself, and how I want people to perceive me.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

My heart...yes, looks obviously are appealing, but I believe the kindness in my heart is what emphasizes my beauty.

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

You have to talk to yourself like you’re your OWN best friend. Be your own hype-woman! Imagine the woman or man you WANT to be and just start acting like that...it’s cheesy but it works before you know it, you ARE that amazing person
