Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
My name is Katherine, but I go by Kat. I’m 25 years old and I’m from Honduras. I moved to the US in 2011 with both of my parents and my little sister. I’m a recent Healthcare management graduate from the University of New Orleans and I currently work at Touro hospital as a supervisor at our new covid vaccine clinic. This has been a hard year for the health care I industry but I love to think that in some way I’m helping the country move forward to try to get over this pandemic soon.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I have no modeling experience at all. I took some modeling classes with a company that pretended to be an agency but in the end nothing ever worked out. However, I do love taking pictures and making videos and edit them. I love posing in front of a camera!
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream has always been to be a well known model, like Gisele Bundchen, Bella Hadid, Naomi Campbell and many more. Every time I see them I can see myself achieving that dream!
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
To be my own kind of beautiful is to accept myself as I am. I’ve learned that I have to accept all of my flaws because I’m not perfect. Only then, I can learn how to love myself and become my own kind of beautiful. In the end, being beautiful is all about self acceptance.
How would you describe your fashion style?
My fashion style is a mix of a lot of things. Some days I feel like wearing jeans and a t-shirt and other days I want a skirt with a crop top or a dress. I could never really identify with just one style because I mix a little bit of everything.
Who or what inspires you?
I think I’m inspired by different people. I love how my mom is the most disciplined person I know and how my sister is the most loving. My best friend’s willingness to be successful in everything he does inspires me to become a better person. I think my inspiration comes from different aspects/strengths of the people I know !
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
My advice would be to just start. I spent so many years thinking of the “what if’s” that I lost count of time and let everyone else convince me that it just would never happen to me. If you have a dream, chase it ! It does not matter what people tell you or think of you because only you know what you can achieve !!
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
The biggest obstacle I’ve had is not knowing what I want from life. I spent so many years denying my dreams that I thought trying out new things would make me happy so I went to college and switched my major five times before graduating. It was only after I graduated that I realized I’ll never be happy until I at least try to make my dreams come true. My insecurities got the best of me and I still struggle with them sometimes, but I’ve become stronger and now I know how to tackle them.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
I think one of the things that makes me beautiful is my personality. I’m the most quiet person in the room but once I get comfortable I talk a lot, but not about myself. I love hearing people’s life stories, you can learn so many things from them. Many of us just want to be heard by someone/anyone and giving people that chance and seeing how their faces light up makes me happy. Being beautiful is not just about physical appearance but also what’s inside our hearts and souls.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
As I said at the beginning, confidence is all about self love. Learn how to accept yourself just the way you are, with the good and the bad, fight to become a better person, learn a new habit, exercise, meditate, wake up in the mornings and name three things you’re good at or three things you like about yourself and you’ll see how little by little your brain will rewire to think of yourself more highly.
