Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
I’m from the middle of nowhere, North Carolina. I moved to Florida 8 years ago to work for Disney, I am now a retired princess focusing on modeling.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I have been freelance modeling since moving here, and have done everything the industry has to offer; print, runway, commercial, and acting.
What is your biggest dream?
Anyone who knows me knows my biggest dream is to be in the smallest picture on the last page of a Victoria’s Secret catalogue. That’s all I need to feel accomplished.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
It means never letting anyones criticism get to your head. As long as you are living the life you want and doing things that make you happy, you’re beautiful.
How would you describe your fashion style?
My style has gone through lots of changes throughout the years. Currently I’d say I tend to reach for more classy, monochromatic pieces.
Who or what inspires you?
I’m inspired by the stories of celebrities that weren’t discovered until they were in their 30s + it tells me there is no expiration date for doing what I love.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
Keep going. There is always going to be something about you that someone wants to change. But that exact thing will be something another person loves. It’s all about your mentality. If this is what you want to do, get out there and don’t let the “No’s” stop you or convince you to quit.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
My biggest obstacle in modeling has been my age. My parents didn’t put me in modeling when I was young, and I feel like by this point if you’re not in hundreds of magazines and campaigns nobody takes you seriously. Or they see your age on paper and decide you’re too old and don’t even look at your pictures to see your range.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
I’d say my eyes are my best feature but I know what makes me beautiful is my personality.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
Stop trying to please everyone and focus on yourself. Do what makes you happy. At the end of the day it’s your life, live for you.
