Tell us about yourself.

Passionate published fashion model, mental health host, tech savvy, writer, entrepreneur, and lifestyle influencer . I'm from Smithfield, NC currently living in what use to be a small city Clayton NC that is now just developing. I have traveled throughout the United States as a child and my favorite place was Hawaii where I spent the end of elementary and first half of middle school. I enjoy helping out others from fashion tips/trends, mental health concerns, IT support and resume/cover letter assistance. Probably wondering why am I model or how do I find the time to model!

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I started off as a Freelance Model back in 2015 after graduating from Saint Augustine's University in Raleigh, NC where I received my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science. I started modeling to build self confidence within myself as it use to be hard to wake up every morning and want to look like someone. I found myself more depressed then anything because I had low esteem because of how small I was to other women I was always around. 

One day, I woke up and decided it was time for a change that I needed to start loving that person I saw in the mirror everyday. I got on Google did some research for open modeling gigs at the time I was living in the DC Maryland Virginia area. I applied for this competition called DMVNTM (DMV Next Top Model). I received tons of feedback and a great learning experience. From that day on I have development into a beautiful model and thrilled to take the next steps into my modeling career. 

What is your biggest dream?

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

Be your own kind of beautiful means being YOU! Who are YOU?! What makes YOU?! Loving yourself and taking care of you is what makes you special.

How would you describe your fashion style?

I would describe my fashion style as unique and cleaver.

Who or what inspires you?

I have always looked up to my mother as my Role Mom! As far as a celebrity Tyra Banks and Coi Leray are my two most inspirational women that inspire me to continue to be comfortable in my own skin.

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

Ask yourself why do you want to do modeling first. Then I would tell them to start from the bottom being comfortable with themselves, and putting themselves out there by applying to gigs, attending to open model calls, applying to agencies, auditions for fashion shows, create a name for yourself, create a portfolio, and get a comp card.

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

I have overcome low self esteem and cyberbullying. My attitude and growth has changed tremulously towards negativity.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

My willingness to help others as well as personality is what makes me beautiful.

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

I would tell them to look in the mirror and repeat these affirmations as they've helped me:

1. I am beautiful.

2. I am confident.

3. I am comfortable in my own skin.

4. I am intelligent.

5. I am enough.

6. I am loved.

7. Today it is time for a change!
