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

I am 17 years old and I am from Long Island, New York. I spend most of my time in school, working, and hanging with my friends. In the fall of 2022, I will be beginning my education at the University of Tampa where I will be studying marketing in the honors college. 

Tell us about your modeling experience.

In January of 2022, I was crowned Miss Long Island Teen which opened up so many opportunities to pursue my modeling career. I often shoot with and do trunk shows for Estelles Dressy Dresses. I have modeled for both St. John and Mixology at events. I also shot for Bridal Reflections upcoming collection. 

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to make my mark on the world. I want to be a woman that others can look up to as a role model and a positive influence. I want to help all woman feel empowered and confident within themselves. 

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

Being your own kind of beautiful is more than what is seen on the outside. Beauty is portrayed through ones heart and demeanor. Beauty is shown through acts of kindness towards others and the confidence that shines within themselves. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

My fashion style tends to be Fairly trendy but with my own twist. I love making each of my outfits personalized to me rather than blending in with the crowd. 

Who or what inspires you?

My biggest inspiration is my mom. She has not only taught me love and appreciation, but she has taught me responsibility and work ethic. She has truly shaped me into the woman I am today and continues to influence me everyday. 

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

My biggest piece of advice would be to stay true to yourself. Everyone is unique in their own beautiful way and that will be seen though-out your career. 

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

In 2020 when the world shut down, I spent so much time on social media which lead me to continuously criticize myself and compare myself to what I saw through the screen. This lead to struggles with my body image, eating habits, and my overall self esteem. Overcoming this was not an easy or linear process, but I am proud to say that I have came out stronger on the other end. I no longer compare myself to others and I now truly feel confident in myself. 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

What makes me beautiful is my heart. It is always my priority to help others throughout their struggles. It is so important for woman to always support and life up other woman throughout their challenges. 

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

I would tell them to stop comparing themselves to the people around them. I would assure to them they are beautiful. Confidence is filled with ups and downs, but as long as you stay truly to yourself it will shine through.
