Tell us about yourself.

I am 17 years old and I am from a small town in Pennsylvania. My passion and goal in life is to help and inspire as many people as I possibly can. In my free time I work on collecting and shopping for supplies to make kits for homeless people that I personally deliver to homeless shelters.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to be successful at whatever I work at and to show young girls and women that curves are a beautiful thing and you do not have to be a size 0 to be beautiful.

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

Personally I think being your own kind of beautiful to me doesn’t mean the perfect smile or silky/soft hair but instead to be confident in your own skin and love yourself and your body no matter what size or how different you may look from others.

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I have not had much experience in the model agency yet. In the past year I have participated in two full test shoots and a photo shoot to start my portfolio.

What is your dream brand to model for?

My absolute dream brand to model for would be Calvin Klein. I am very inspired by all of the Calvin Klein models I have seen. I think it would be amazing to show how to be confident in your skin even if you don’t have a flat stomach and long skinny legs.

How would you describe your fashion style?

I would describe my fashion style as very Trendy. I am quite attracted to what most teenage influencers are into at the time. Along with my clothes I feel that accessories are just as important if not more to complete a look. I never leave my house without rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and anything else that I feel may complete the the look I desire.

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

Self-awareness and confidence is extremely important in my everyday life. I personally believe that confidence is key in everything you do in life. You have to have to have a confidence mindset in life or you won’t be able to complete anything to the best of your ability.

What makes you beautiful?

My heart makes me beautiful. I may have a big and bright smile but beauty is not just want you see on the outside but also the person you are on the inside. I love helping everyone and anyone in my life and that is what brings me most of my happiness. Kindness can go a long way and the smallest gestures can make almost anyone’s day.

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

To anybody that struggles with confidence, I would start by telling them they are absolutely beautiful in their own individual way. It’s not about who’s skinniest or who has the most followers or who’s on the front of a magazine. Everybody is beautiful in their own way and it all starts with first loving yourself.
