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

I am 19 years old and live in New York. Family has always been a huge aspect in my life. I am so fortunate to have a loving and supporting family. From when I was younger I always enjoyed sports and absolutely love attending any type of sports games. I am a dog lover, traveler, and book worm, too. 

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I began freelance modeling by using my social media platform to connect with photographers and clothing stores throughout New York City. I finally found the right fit for me and signed with Hannah Noelle.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to reach a level of success in the modeling industry that allows me to advocate for self love and mental health. Growing up in the age of social media, a lot of people are pressured by the standards of what is perfect, which in most cases, eventually affects their mental health. I want to work to show the world that you can only be "perfectly" you. 

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

I am a strong believer that beauty steams from your heart. One's beauty is a reflection of their inner self. Being beautiful is loving your scars, ethnicity, shape, and size and owning them. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

I would say that my fashion style is all over the place. In the morning you can find me in athletic wear with a pair of dunks and by night I will be in a dress and heels. I absolutely love a streetwear fit as well. I definitely am a lover for accessories and believe they can make any outfit !

Who or what inspires you?

I am inspired by my younger self. Growing up I struggled so much mentally and with finding love for myself. I think back at some of the obstacles and demons I have overcome and am so proud of where I am today. I wish I could hug all the young girls and boys struggling like I did and tell them everything will be okay. I strive to continue to show to myself that everyone is beautiful and worthy of self love. 

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

I would tell anyone who is just getting started with modeling to keep going if this is something  they truly want. I would encourage them to produce content, make friends and have fun. I would also say to take your opportunities and be grateful for them.  

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

An obstacle that I have had to face is dealing with my anxiety and depression. For a long time I let people and mean words tear me apart. I have dealt with fake accounts, mean words about my nose, harsh comments about weight, and self esteem issues.  Eventually I started to believe their words and struggled with my own mental state. I am so proud of being able to pull myself out of such a deep and scary hole and mindset. I now make a conscious effort to surround myself with positive people and thoughts. 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I genuinely believe my beauty comes from my heart. I am one to love and care so hard for everyone around me. To me, how I treat and make others feel is a huge deal to me. 

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

To anyone who is struggling with their self confidence I would tell them to always be nice to themselves and surround themselves with positive people and thoughts.. I would tell them there is no one in the world like you and that's what makes you so special, love that about yourself.
