Tell us about your modeling experience.

I can honestly say that before signing with Hannah Noelle I had no modeling experience. It has always been a dream of mine but I was too scared to act upon it. But, now I am with a professional agency and it's a dream come true to start working in the modeling industry.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to walk in a Prada show. Ever since I was little and watched The Devil Wears Prada starring Anne Hathaway, I knew I was in love with luxury goods. I can only dream of walking the runway at any fashion show, but my absolute dream is to walk for Prada.

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
As a teenager who struggles with confidence and self-worth, beauty means feeling comfortable with yourself. You need to develop your unique personality through hobbies, actions, and style to be the most beautiful version of yourself. Eliminate things that you don't like and work to build yourself into who you want to be and not how others perceive you.

How would you describe your fashion style?
My fashion style is very comfortable. I enjoy wearing more neutral and deep colors over brights or pastels. As I love dressing up on occasion I would choose a sweat set any day.

Who or what inspires you?
I am inspired by my dreams. I am a very big planner so I have all of these ideas and goals for my life. I try to picture who I want to become and then I do anything I can to achieve it. Whether it's small actions or huge steps, my goals for the future inspire me to keep working hard and staying positive.

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
My advice to someone just getting started with modeling is to just put yourself out there. Don't be afraid of rejection or failure, because holding yourself back only results in missed opportunities and regret.

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
I have struggled with mental health for the majority of my life. Anxiety about my future and the possibilities of my future has always been very stressful for me. As a result, I have focused more on becoming my own person. Whenever I think about my future I want to think about the person that I want to become. Because of this I am working towards becoming that version of myself and focusing on personal development.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?
What makes me beautiful is my capability to dream. Having all of these big dreams and ideas really shows what makes me unique and beautiful as a person.

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
I think that confidence surrounds finding yourself as a person. Work towards developing yourself in your unique image instead of following societal trends or working on things that aren't of real interest to you or don't make you happy.
