Tell us about yourself

Hello fellow reader, let me tell you a bit about myself! My name is Mariah P. I am 26 years old and currently reside in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I was born and raised. In my free time I enjoy all outdoor activities, spending time with family and friends, as well as playing sports. My educational journey commenced when I attended Central New Mexico Community College where I earned my Film Certification and an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science. I then went on continue my studies at the University of New Mexico where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Multimedia Journalism and Mass Communications. My professional career has been entirely spent in the film industry. During this fruitful journey, I have held a multitude of positions and worked with some of the most amazing people. Currently, I work as a Sound Utility which has been my favorite position thus far.

Tell us about your modeling experience.

Loving to be in front of the camera, I have done an immense amount of trade work with local photographers to help build my portfolio and promote their social media pages. I competed in the Miss Prominence fashion show and took 2 nd runner up at 18 years old. I knew I always wanted to be a model, but it wasn’t until recently that I truly committed myself to pursuing a career in this industry.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to become a full-time model and inspire those around me to embrace your natural beauty. I want to leave a positive impact on the world

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

I believe everyone is their own kind of beautiful but to be beautiful means embracing yourself for who you are and to bring the things you love about yourself to light. It is all about remembering to be true to yourself and not worrying about comparison of what others think is beautiful.

How would you describe your fashion style?

My fashion style is constantly changing as I believe fashion is emotion of oneself. I love being spontaneous and trying new outfits out. You can typically catch me in a sporty outfit or in a formal outfit if I step out to an event.

Who or what inspires you?

My parents have always inspired me to work hard and never let anything get in the way of achieving my goals in life. They have always pushed me to be the best version of myself. I would not be where I am without their constant love and support.

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

Always believe in yourself and don’t let anyone take that confidence and shine away from you. Don’t be afraid to go to those auditions, ask questions, and have fun. You can’t achieve a goal if you don’t try. Be confident, push yourself, and stay consistent!

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

Growing up I have had to learn that not everyone is going to root for you and your success. I don’t need to have everyone excited for me because as long as I am reaching my goals and achieving my dreams then I will be cheering for myself every day.

What makes you beautiful/handsome.

I believe a person’s heart and soul is what makes them beautiful or handsome. I feel the most beautiful when I am helping others. Since I was young, I have had a passion for helping those around me. When I am able to do anything to make someone’s day a little better even if it’s just a smile it makes me light up and strive to help more people.

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

Remember that everyone has gone through some sort of struggle with confidence in their life. Look at yourself in the mirror every day and instead of pointing out the things you don’t like about yourself or would like to change, say out loud at least five things you love about yourself that day. It’s going to take time to build confidence and that is totally fine, just be patient. Every day will get easier!
