Tell us about yourself:
I am from New York and am 25 years old. Aside of my work in front of the camera, I am also a video editor and director. Some of my passions include historical preservation, sustainability, and animal rights.
Tell us about your modeling experience:
I have been modeling since April of 2019 and did not expect to fall in love with the craft. I have worked with some incredible artists in this industry and hope to keep expanding.
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream would for us to live in a sustainable world, a caring world. For every being and creature to be equals.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
Being your own kind of beautiful is to be who you are at the core. Self acceptance and love is beautiful.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I dress like a grandmother most of the time. My friends think I should have been an 1800s baby.
Who or what inspires you?
I take inspiration from everywhere and anyone. I don't have just one person or thing that inspires me. Humans are so versatile and we constantly adapt and change; therefore, for me, it is difficult to have one source of inspiration.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
It is a lot more work than the general public thinks. You may get a lot of rejection, but if you want it, keep collaborating with other artists and build that portfolio. Also, don't get stressed out about it; if you dont enjoy the work, then reconsider the path.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
There has been a lot of doubt in my life from an early age. I have gotten to the age where I believe in myself and capabilities, which makes all of the difference. Time is healing, if you use it correctly.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
What makes me beautiful is being who I am and treating people kindly. I am very complex and I think there is beauty in it.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
I would tell someone struggling with their confidence to focus on what they enjoy doing - something that does not bring them stress. When you do that, it helps to manage the other struggles. Also to remember that a lack of confidence will not bring you what you want; sometimes you need to push it aside in order to benefit yourself and you'll realize confidence isn't a scary thing.
