Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)

I am a twenty year old model from Michigan currently attending Wayne State University for a career in the medical field as I work in the medical field. My ethnic background is Hungarian and Czech. I love creating beautiful works with new people!

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I have worked/signed with Beauty In Me Modeling Agency as well as Country Girl Management, and I am a part of the Apollo Creative Collective Michigan-based community. I have been featured on @castdetroit and have worked in commercial shoots as well as Instagram ads! In my experience, modeling is such a unique art form and such an amazing gateway to connect with other creatives. Since the beginning of my practice, I have spoken to countless photographers, learned so many new perspectives on the industry, and recognized overall that this process truly is a team effort! I work well with photographers as I have a strong passion for portrait photography myself, and have even taken on an assistant role to strengthen my skills further.

What is your biggest dream?

I would love to pursue runway fashion and model for prominent brands. I hope to chase this goal in an impactful way.

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

As models, we are attempting to create a unique work of art pieced together by so many facets: clothing, makeup, fabrics, colors, stances, expression, position, lighting, posture, shapes, design, skin, patience, and passion most of all. Beauty is unique to every model––every individual––and there is beauty to be captured in everything around us.

How would you describe your fashion style?

My fashion style ranges from simplistic, neutral and sophisticated to imaginative and innovative. Sometimes it can be a more youthful fashion, yet it is refined and it is always developing.

Who or what inspires you?

I am inspired by women's rights activists and humanitarian efforts as well as education on mental and physical health.

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

Only ever compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

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

My mother was once a successful model when she was my age. Since her passing, I am brought closer to her through modeling.

What makes you beautiful?

My optimism and my determination.

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

Confidence can be reached from places other than the beauty standard.
