Tell us about yourself:

I am 24 years old and currently living in the city of Chicago. I grew up in the suburbs and was always dancing and acting. I knew I loved the spotlight from a young age (maybe that's the Leo zodiac in me). Also, my whole life I've had passions for social media, fashion, and photography.

I studied journalism and marketing at Indiana University, where I received my Bachelor's Degree. Post-grad, I have worked full-time in the marketing industry. I also pursue micro-influencing, content creation, and modeling alongside my marketing career. 

Some of my favorite things to do are take my pomeranian puppy to the dog park, spend quality time with my friends and family, wine and dine at new restaurants with my boyfriend, take fun yoga and fitness classes weekly, and of course, shop till I drop at my favorite stores.

Tell us about your modeling experience:

It wasn't till recently that I thought to myself "Okay, this is something serious I want to pursue". I love being in front of the camera and I am not shy by any means. Having confidence in yourself and not being afraid to take that next step is so important.

I enjoy working with amazing companies and brands doing editorial, runway, digital, commercial, collaboration, and print work.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream one day is to move to Europe full-time. I think the lifestyle there is what most excites me. I am happiest when doing the things I love, currently, that is the two M's: Modeling and Marketing. I also would be honored to walk in NYFW.

Manifesting and working hard can get you anywhere you want to be!

What does it mean to be your kind of beautiful?

It means to be fully confident in who you are on the inside and the outside. Focus on yourself and not how others perceive you.

How would you describe your fashion style?

I like being on trend but also just like what I like! I like to dress based on the occasion, whatever that may be. Dinner, event, fancy, casual, work, vacation, you name it. You can check out my IG for more fashion inspo!

Who or what inspires you?

The strong and special women in my life inspire me daily. My mom, my aunts, my sisters, my grandma, and my best friends. They all push me to be the best version of myself. I look up to all of them and am grateful for them individually and as a whole. I wouldn't be who or where I am today without any of them.

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

Don't be afraid to take risks and put yourself out there, that's how I got here with HNM. The only person standing in your way of following your dreams is yourself. Manifest, stick to your goals, be confident in yourself, and take those next steps, it will all be worth it!

My marketing background has definitely helped me in the modeling industry. I am not afraid to reach out to people or brands, I know how to market myself through social media, I build relationships and connections with everyone I meet (whether it's the photographer or makeup artist on set), and I am super organized.

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

In 2019, my mom and aunts were going through a serious health battle. I am so lucky and happy that they are all healthy currently. But then, it was a very scary and crazy time for our family. That is one of the many reasons why I look up to them so much. They are so strong and fearless, they inspire me and make me a strong woman today. Also, that obstacle has shown me that life is short and you have to shoot for the stars while you can. That is one of the reasons why I am modeling!

What makes you beautiful?

I feel the most beautiful when I am in no makeup on the couch at home and when I am full glam to the max at a fancy event! Seeing myself in different lights and going through different experiences is always interesting. Staying true to myself no matter what environment I'm in is most important.

My kind of beauty also radiates happiness and positivity. I hope to impact others' energy and the environment around me.

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

Know that you are not alone. Every single person I am sure is going through the struggles that you are going through. It is nice to talk it out with the people you trust and admire. However or whatever makes you feel your happiest or your best self, keep doing that, and don't give up!
