Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
Hello! I am from the metro Detroit area in Michigan. I’m 26 years old and attended college at Central Michigan University. My minor was fashion in college and I’ve always had a love for the glamorous side of things. I’ve always loved the spotlight growing up doing dance and I loved the camera. I’m half Lebanese and Italian and I have a love for learning about different cultures and their fashion.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I was a part of a modeling agency called the igroup where I did some promotional work. I also have done many photoshoots. I’ve always had a love for taking pictures ever since I was little. My college I attended also puts on a big fashion show every year where we’ve had speakers come from project runway etc. where I got to walk and it was amazing.
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream is to be on a cover of a big time magazine- like Harper’s Bazaar. I’ve also always had a dream of walking Miami Swim Week and NYFW. I would also LOVE to collaborate with a big time fashion brand.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
I am so big on making your mind a happy place. My own kind of beautiful is being able to have a good inner dialogue with yourself and finding yourself beautiful. I am big on self affirmations and confidence. It really starts from within as cliche as it sounds.
How would you describe your fashion style?
My fashion style is sexy and confident. I like to show off things that accentuate my curves and stay up to date on current trends.
Who or what inspires you?
Someone that comes to mind that truly inspires me is Rihanna. She does it ALL. I love her confidence and her ability to turn anything to gold. She’s a woman boss and shows all of us that we can have more than one passion.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
PRACTICE! Get comfortable in your own body. Look at yourself in the mirror and speak nicely to yourself. Reach out to photographers for exposure! And of course use social media.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
I think coming from a family that doesn’t have a whole lot made me realize I needed and wanted more for myself. I will do what it takes to succeed and I’m glad I had personal things happen to motivate me. I also think growing up dancing for 18 years made me very disciplined and taught me a lot about respect and dedication.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
I believe I am beautiful because I truly like myself as a person. I have done a lot of self care over the years that has made me realize how great I am! I believe I have a unique look and I can inspire people to see the good in themselves.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
First journal or think about what you don’t like about yourself and why you’re not confident. Then rewrite your story! Many of us tell ourselves a story that isn’t even true. Who do you want to be and why? Become that person. Wake up everyday and tell yourself how confident and amazing you are and you will eventually start to believe it.
