Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
I am 18 years old. I live in Dallas, Texas but was born in Orlando, Florida. I travel back and forth from Dallas to Orlando quite some bit to visit my brothers and my beautiful nephews and nieces. I am currently a freshman in college studying Fashion Marketing and Management. I love all things fashion, sports, and working out.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I did some child modeling when I was a toddler. Throughout my teenage years I modeled small business boutiques throughout the Dallas area. Now that I am wanting to seriously begin modeling.
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream has to be successful to provide for my future husband, kids, but also for my parents as they get older. My biggest dream is to buy back my childhood home located in Celebration, FL to raise my future family there.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
Being your own kind of beautiful is knowing who you are and worth as well as loving yourself unconditionally.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I would describe my fashion style as Versace with a mix of Chanelin the 90's.
Who or what inspires you?
My dad has to be my biggest and closest inspiration. Career wise my biggest inspiration is Donatella Versace. I admire her dedication to family but also her dedication to helping women feel empowered through fashion but also her advocacy for women's rights.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
It's scary especially because the pressure feels a lot heavier on our shoulders today with social media but don't focus on that. Focus on loving yourself and EMBRACE WHO YOU ARE. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
I was in a head on car collision when I was 13 which left me with a traumatic brain injury which ended up causing me to have to give up playing club soccer which was a big loss to who I was, but in the end it made me the person who I am today and has led me to where I am today and I am proud of that.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
I think what makes me beautiful is my personality. I am very quiet at first but when I begin to open up I try to bring light and comfort to the people around me.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
My father, when I was struggling with my confidence throughout my teenage years, always told me to look at myself as a caterpillar continuing to develop and grow into this beautiful blue royal monarch butterfly. That is the best thing I could say to someone because it sticks with me everyday and I am reminded of it everytime I see a butterfly. Confidence is like a caterpillar growing into a butterfly; it's a process but in the end we are all beautifully unique in our own way.
