Tell us about yourself:

Hi, my name is Jillian B. I am from Boston, Massachusetts and am 21 years old.  I am a graduate from Suffolk University and am doing my masters there as well in Marketing and Management. I am very passionate about traveling and have been to 16 different countries. I used to live in Florence, Italy.

Tell us about your modeling experience:

I have modeled for 5 years now. I have modeled for prom stores such as Alexandra's Boutique, and have been signed with Dynasty Models, Armanda Photos, and have almost been with Hannah Noelle Models for a year.

What is your biggest dream:

My biggest dream is to travel all over the world, model and act, be successful in real estate, have my own clothing line, and work in social media.

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

I think being your own kind of beautiful is doing what you love and what inspires you. It's also all about confidence, positivity, and how you feel about yourself. 

How would you describe your fashion style:

I am very passionate about fashion and always have been. I would say that I have a very girly and classic style. I love to dress up.

Who or what inspires you:

A couple people inspire me. Most of all, my dad inspires me because he came from virtually nothing and built himself up to be very successful and great at what he does. He also runs his own business which made me want to run my own one day. I also have looked up to Gretchen Geraghty throughout the years as a role model and recently I have been inspired by Matilda Djerf and her amazing company she built for herself.

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

I have always had the hardest time with starting something new because I am afraid of change and failure. I would say to just start and put yourself out there; don't put it off. Take everything one day and step at a time and you will see yourself blossom.

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

For me, losing people that I really care about and going through life changes is hard for me. I'm very much a people person, enjoy stability, and care very deeply for others so it can be a challenge just moving on with my life and evolving into different phases. It hasn't gotten easier but now I am definitely pickier with who I surround myself with in my inner circle and can recognize who is really there for me. I also believe what is meant for you will happen.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

Personality wise I love how compassionate, funny, caring, and optimistic I am. Looks wise I love my red hair and blue eyes. 

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

I would say to not feel alone and that everyone feels unconfident at one point. The best advice I could give is fake it till you make it. Pretend that you are meant to be where you want to be or if you aren't feeling good about yourself one day just keep telling yourself that you're beautiful.
