Tell us about yourself 

I grew up in a small town right outside Green Bay Wisconsin. About the age of 14 my parents moved my family from small Green Bay to beautiful Tampa Bay. Meeting so many new people and so many different and creative minds. I then started to fall in love with how beautiful everything was, and how beautiful i could become. When i turned 17 I started taking classes, learning how to become beautiful, learning how to model, learning to be amazing. Being in those classes surrounded by other amazing and talent models made me grow even more confidence in myself, and that’s when i knew THIS is what i want. 

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to travel the world and work with so many unique individuals who all have their own creative mindset. 

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

Being your own kind of beautiful means you are who you are, being confident in your own skin. Not letting anyone bring you down for being yourself.

How would you describe your fashion style?

If i had to describe my fashion style it would be, bipolar. Some days I’m feeling a cute long lace skirt with a simple yet stylish tank top, but some days I’m super into big baggy cargo pants with an oversized graphic tshirt, and sometimes it’s mix between both. So basically my fashion style changes from day to day. 

Who or what inspires you?

I get a lot of my inspiration from myself as well as i get a lot of my inspiration from others. I do enjoying spending some time to myself to allow myself to think and be creative. I also find myself creating and getting ideas from people just by having conversations. 

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

My advice for someone just getting started would be, don’t give up, find something you enjoy doing and keep doing it, connect with more people who also enjoy doing the things you enjoy. Modeling is such a big industry right now, everyone is different in their own way, don’t be afraid to show it. 

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

One obstacle i had to overcome is Covid, during that time I was still a junior in high school, also during that time i was attending classes for modeling but because of Covid these classes were online, and being someone who has a hard time learning and staying focused at home on a computer it was especially hard. But knowing that modeling is what i wanted to do i pushed myself to finish and be the best i can. With the pandemic also being home 24/7 made me find my inner beauty and I started to take care of myself.   

What makes you beautiful?

Some things that make me beautiful are my personality, I’m quite a shy person but when i do speak I’m personable and funny. Another is the way i carry myself, no one is perfect but being almost perfect is beautiful. Being yourself is the best way to carry yourself.

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

If your struggling with your confidence, take some time away from social media, go for a walk, go to the beach, do a face mask, paint your nails, read a book, look at yourself for a long time in the mirror and remind yourself who you are. There are too many unique styles, different body styles and faces for you to not be confident in your own.
