Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)

My name is Erika-Jean Hernandez , I’m 16 from Bakersfield, California.

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I don’t have any experience in modeling but I’m excited and ready to learn and work hard to get where I want to be.

What is your biggest dream?

Overall I just want to be successful in whatever I do, whether it’s modeling or working in the medical field. I want to travel all around the world and experience things out of my home town.

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

I believe what you think makes you different from others is what makes you beautiful and should be embraced.

How would you describe your fashion style?

A little bit of everything, I like to experiment with different types of styles.

Who or what inspires you?

My mom and my grandpa are my inspirations in life. They are both the most hardworking people I know . When it comes to style I get inspired by Winona Ryder in the 90’s and alexa demie.

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

Some advice I would give is just to reach out and look for as many opportunities as you can and don’t give up.

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

An obstacle I have over come is to learn and listen. I have learned responsibility for someone who is only 16 and I’m willing to work hard to accomplish more that comes to me.

What makes you beautiful/ handsome?

What makes me beautiful is my personality and characteristics.

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

This generation I feel like everyone is expected to look a certain way to be considered beautiful which isn’t true. Everything that makes you unique is what makes you beautiful .
