Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
I grew up on a goat farm in small town Missouri! I quickly realized I had dreams of a different variety. I currently reside in the St. Louis region and am a full-time Operations Manager for Polo Ralph Lauren. I love fashion and creating art.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
Walked for 5 designers at Ohio Fashion Week, Brand Partner for many mainstream brands including 1-800-Flowers and Sudio Headphones, editorial and commercial model experience of 4 years!
What is your biggest dream?
To be able to support myself as a full time model and actress.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
Being your own kind of beautiful means rejecting the cookie cutter standards that society has pushed upon me. It means accepting myself for who and what I am and building up others along the way. It means embracing myself and others for who they are right now.
How would you describe your fashion style?
My style is constantly evolving! I would describe my current style as a cross between soft glam, streetwear with heavy 90s and Y2K influence.
Who or what inspires you?
Women who have been knocked down time and time again and continue to thrive. Resilience inspires me.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
Set your boundaries and stand by them. Your art is your choice!
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
From the age of twelve I have struggled with severe depression and anxiety due to chemical imbalances. Mental illness is a constant battle, but over the years I have learned how to gain control and understand myself. I hated myself, inside and out, for years and did not want to live the life I was given. To stand here today and know the progress I have made makes me so proud. I am here for a reason.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
I believe beauty radiates from the inside. Kindness, empathy and courage make me beautiful. I think I hold emotion in my eyes, so they are my favorite physical feature.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
Confidence does not come from buying a new brand of mascara. It comes from the time you spend with yourself and recognizing the value you bring to the table. So often our confidence is based purely on our appearance, but it has to root deeper than that. Start by finding a few things you love about yourself and recognizing those. It is based on building blocks, you have to build a foundation before you create a fortress.
