Tell us about yourself.

I grew up and continue to live in the small and beautiful Canandaigua, New York with my family and chihuahua named Jose. I’m 22 years young and have two semesters left at a community college as a criminal justice major. I love to smile and crack corny jokes to make others smile as well!

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to travel, live life to the fullest with no regrets. Also, of course to appear in vogue!

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

To be your own kind of beautiful to me means to be comfortable and happy with who you really are. Love what you love and have your own style. We are all incredibly different and those differences make us all individually beautiful.

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I have been working with photographers around the Rochester, New York area for over a year. I have collaborated with local companies such as spirit & thread crochet, Embrasse-Moi, the OP Roc shop, and Live the dream outfitters. I have come a long way in just a year and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

What is your dream brand to model for?

It would be a dream to work with Calvin Klein or Sherri Hill!

How would you describe your fashion style?

My everyday fashion style is simple and pretty free spirited. Although, I’m a big fan of trying new styles, especially during photo shoots!

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

Self awareness is so important and confidence is key. The both go hand in hand in my opinion. Having confidence and the power of truly knowing and understanding yourself isn’t always easy, but it is so incredibly worth it!

What makes you beautiful?

Personally, my flaws and unique marks make me beautiful. I have freckles and green eyes, both of which I got from my mom! I’m general, being beautiful or handsome is being happy and being simply you! Showing, accepting, and loving your flaws.
