Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I have modeled for beauty and hair brands such as ULTA Beauty, L'Oreal's Matrix and Biolage, Moroccan Oil, TIGI, Oribe, and walked on America's Beauty Show stages. I have also modeled at the National Bridal Market for Modeca. My runway experience includes Midwest Fashion Week, Chicago Fashion Week, Pittsburgh Fashion Week, Milwaukee Fashion Week, STRUT, Bridgeport Fashion Week, International Fashion Affair, and more.

What is your biggest dream?
I am currently studying to become an Environmental Lawyer.

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

Being your own kind of beautiful means embracing diversity: in taste, avant-garde expression, and representation.

How would you describe your fashion style?
I have always had an affinity for vintage shapes ('40s - '60s), floral patterns, and compositions with vibrant and popping colors.

Who or what inspires you?
Strong women in the fields of art and politics.

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

Community is so important; the most rewarding experiences are those where you can learn from professionals, and when all participating parties are humble and kind, because you will then have gained both more knowledge as well as peers in the industry. Artists must help other artists. Also, allow yourself to take time discovering your style and what you can uniquely bring to the table.

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

There will be people who express doubt or even condescension towards your ambitions. Be confident in yourself and your integrity, and tell them, "Watch me."

What makes you beautiful/handsome?
Compassion and joy.

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
Confidence is a lifelong journey, but thankfully there is a wealth of support and empathy from  peers. Remember to feel humbled by grand opportunities and when meeting good people. Turn your internal voices into positive affirmations, and be at competition only with yourself to become the best version of You.
