Tell us about yourself

I recently turned 21 and I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida in Pinellas County. In 1999 I was adopted from Southeast China and grew up in Chester County Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. From as long as I can remember I’ve always had a passion for the fashion industry and currently pursuing my dream of modeling and acting. 

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I’m currently enrolled and attending John Casablancas Modeling School in Tampa and thus far have done activities such as: Runway shows, Promotional Modeling and Print. 

What is your biggest dream?

My dream is to achieve success in the modeling industry, to travel internationally and I strive daily to be a passionate, positive person and contribute to society. I’m dedicated to gathering knowledge and learning everything I can about the modeling industry in order to reach my goals. 

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

There’s more than what people see on the surface. Physicality is only one aspect. There’s mentally, emotional and spiritual components that makeup someone. I strive to keep a healthy balance of all. I’m a big proponent of physical fitness to keep your mind and body aligned. I’ve been a lifelong runner, but I also enjoy yoga, biking and almost all outdoor activities. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

One of the many beauties of fashion in my opinion, is one’s ability to change their look in a moment's notice. I guess you can say my personal style ranges from super feminine, boho and athletic. 

Who or what inspires you?

I get my inspiration from many sources and some of the models I enjoy following are Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Naomi Campbell and many more. I love reading some of the great fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar. 

What have been your greatest accomplishments?

Hopefully my greatest accomplishments are yet to come! I am proud of quickly getting involved in modeling and pursuing my dream. 

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

Sadly our family has been through divorces, I had 2 cousins die tragically, one of a rare brain tumor and the other a victim of the current opioid epidemic. Through it all I try to maintain a positive attitude and I’ve tried to appreciate every day. 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

My natural curiosity, my silly sense of humor, zest for life and excitement in learning new people, places and things. 

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

First, I would be there to listen to them and encourage them to take steps to nurture themselves about self love.
