Tell us about yourself

I was born in New Jersey where i spent 12 years of my life before moving to Tampa FL. I am currently still in high school so education is what i focus on the most. But one thing I love is fashion and styling and coming up with new makeup looks. 

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I have been modeling for a little over a year now. I have done an Arden Bridal fashion show, the 2022 Fashion Frenzy, and the Walking With A Purpose fashion show. But i hope to further grow and improve. 

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream for myself would be to pursue modeling then become a fashion icon. After that I can turn to other things such as acting since I do love to perform. 

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

Everyone has their own kind of beauty. But to be your own kind of beautiful means to be kind to yourself and the others around you. You treat yourself and everyone with a high level of respect. It also means that you care, you are not scared to show people the real you.

How would you describe your fashion style?

My fashion style is very broad. This is because I love so many styles so every few months I try to switch it up. But my favorite styles to do are earthy grunge and classy chic.

Who or what inspires you? 

Seeing other models such as Naomi Campbell or Zendaya or even other people in fashion shows inspire me. It makes me realize how different and beautiful we all look especially when we come together. But seeing all of them inspires me to want to continue with modeling and working harder to perfect my walk and poses. 

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

My advice would be to not get discouraged because everything is not going as fast as you thought it would. This is because when I first started I thought everything would come to me very fast. But I was very wrong. I had to relearn my model walk and learn different poses that look more professional. The modeling process can take a while so never let that beat you up.

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

An obstacle I had to overcome in my life was confidence. Growing up I always felt that I was never pretty enough and compare myself to others all the time. Later I realized that feeling down because of how i looked was not beneficial to me or my mental health. I taught myself self-love. I realized that everyone looks different and that there is no need to look just like everyone else. No one is me, only I am myself and I should always love that about me. 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

What makes me beautiful is that I love caring and helping people. Also my personality and how determined I am to never give up.

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

You have your own level of beauty that cannot be compared to others. You are filled with so much worth and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. But never focus on your weaknesses too hard. We are all human and none of us are perfect but that doesn't mean that you
