Tell us about yourself

I was raised in New York and graduated from The Fashion Institute Of Technology with a Bachelors in Science. I admire the fashion industry and how it is constantly evolving. There’s always opportunities to learn and grow with modeling and I really enjoy all the creative and unique individuals I meet.

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I’ve walked for NYFW and have done other freelance modeling. I would love start doing prom and bridal. 

What is your biggest dream?

Owning a beautiful farmhouse and having access to fresh dairy and produce. Imagine how amazing  my baking would taste! 

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

God created us so intricately and with such meaning. We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others based on appearance, success, fame, or money and instead praise the Lord for our individuality. What’s truly beautiful goes beyond superficiality.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day" -2 Corinthians 4:16

How would you describe your fashion style?

It depends on the season but I love feminine clothing and vintage pieces. I usually opt for cute blouses with nice denim pants to compliment it or an eye-catching dress. 

Who or what inspires you?

Jesus and people who live for him.

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

I’m a firm believer of you being the only person holding yourself back. You need confidence! When you want something, pray about it and put in the work that goes with it. Seek guidance from experienced models and photographers, build an attractive portfolio, and use social media to get plugged in to the industry.

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

I used to blame my problems on my circumstances, but I realized that I had to be transformed in order to be the best version of myself, thus changing those circumstances by overcoming obstacles.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I don’t conform to the patterns of the world, but am transformed by the renewing of my mind. 

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

Stop creating boundaries for yourself, and step out of your comfort zone. Practice and prepare in everything you do. You’ll start to realize just how much you’re capable of.
