Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
I am from Asheville, NC born and raised. I am 20 years old and I attend Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. I am a cheerleader for WCU and have cheered for 18 years now.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I am new to the modeling industry but it has been a dream of mine to become a part of it. I have had a few shoots locally and some studio shoots but I am pushing to get more bookings.
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream outside of the model world is to open my own salon. I also have a huge dream to make it in the model world where I can be published and walk in NYFW.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
To be your own kind of beautiful in my opinion means to be yourself 100%, unapologetically. To be whatever makes you happy physically and mentally. Everyone is beautiful in their own way.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I would describe my fashion style as chic glam. I love to be bold in what I wear with a girly or street style. However, I am not afraid to branch out and try new styles.
Who or what inspires you?
My mother inspires me in everything I do. She is such a strong hard working woman and I have watched her do great things as she has raised me. She is very motivated and hardworking. She inspires me to work hard and follow my dreams to be successful. Without her guidance I wouldn't be where I am today.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
To just go for it! I was very scared to jump into the model world but I decided one day that I just have to start. I booked one shoot and it took me from there. I would also say to be fearless and be yourself while modeling.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
One of my biggest obstacles in my life is having to learn how to not care what people think about me or what I am doing in my life. Not paying attention to other people's opinions has helped me grow into the person I want to be. I am not afraid to be myself or follow my dreams even if people judge me. At the end of the day, I have learned that my opinion of myself and my life is what matters and is what will help me follow my dreams and reach my life goals.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
Being myself. I say that in full confidence. I am not afraid to be myself and I believe that makes me beautiful. Being myself means I am outgoing, care free, driven, motivated, helpful, caring and a fun spirit. Being myself makes my life brighter and happier which is beautiful.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
If you are struggling with confidence, the key is to not care what others think. Once you learn to love yourself and love what you bring to the table it will help you gain more confidence in yourself. Having confidence in yourself is a beautiful thing. Love yourself and be confident in everything you do. Also be confident in how you feel about yourself no matter what. Confidence is key in life.
