Tell us about yourself.
I am a 21-year old curve model from New Jersey. New York City has always been a second home to me.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I have been modeling since I was 16 years old. My mother had asked me what I had wanted for my sixteenth birthday, and instead of wanting a car or a fancy party, all I wanted was a modeling portfolio. Since then, I have walked in countless shows such as New York Fashion Week, Atlantic City Fashion Week, New York Fashion Show in Long Island featuring famous Pakistan designers, Ready to Wear Fashion Week, and numerous charity fashion shows. As well as bridal fashion shows. I have also been a part of several magazines such as Stunning Beauty Magazine, Art of Portrait Magazine, and High Fashion Voltage Magazine. I have worked with amazing photographers from all over the United States.
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream would to walk for the brand, "Chromat". Another dream of mine is to see myself on a billboard in Times Square.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
To be your own kind of beautiful... to me that can translate into several things. For one, never lose sight of who you truly are. That is the most important thing to remember. Many people can get caught up in their daily lives and forget to be themselves. Being your own kind of beautiful is not being afraid to be your best version of yourself.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I don't typically have a fashion style, but I do like to dress chic and love suits.
Do you have any special talents?
I have been an athlete my whole life. I have danced for 17 years. I am also an illustration major.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
Social Media always has had this standard for young adults and even teens. Those standards used to bother me beyond belief. I realized that there is no one better than YOU. You are your best-self! There is no one out there like YOU. Your beauty and confidence comes from within. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Don't let opinions from other people get you down. Only YOU know your best-self.
