My advice to someone who is just getting started in modeling is to always be confident and to not fear judgement. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take so don’t be scared or hold yourself back from chasing your dreams. Always keep your head up and stay positive even when things seem negative, good things are bound to happen. You also learn from your losses, do not take failure as a reason to give up. Let it teach you!

I’ve overcame it through putting myself through uncomfortable social situations and coming to the realization that the fear I felt was just an illusion. Being able to let go of the wall I built up against the world was definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done but it definitely formed me to become a very strong person and to never let fear hold me back from what I want to accomplish.
What makes you beautiful?
What makes me beautiful is my confidence and kindness. I feel like the most beautiful thing is a beautiful soul and being able to share it with everyone around me.
What would you say to someone who is struggling with confidence?
I would say to another person my age that is struggling with their confidence is to find themself. Discover who you want to be and become it, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You have one life, spend it being whoever you want to be and don’t fear judgement in doing so.
