Tell us about yourself

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I was a cheerleader for over 7 years. I moved to Nashville, Tennessee when I was about 10. However I missed Florida so me and my family moved back to Tampa. 

Tell us about your modeling experience.

I was signed to IMG models as a kid. I also have done lots of photo shoots locally and out of state. I’ve had lots of brands reach out to me for ambassador endorsements. As well as runway, I have traveled to Manhattan for New York fashion week most recently.  I’ve also attended CoCo Rocha virtual modeling school.

What is your biggest dream?

Ever since I was little I’ve wanted to become a model. I would love to walk for Chanel, Versace, or any high designers would be an absolute dream for me. 

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

It means to be confident in your own skin. Learning to love urself and what makes you stand out, I think that is so beautiful. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

I prefer anything on the classier side. I adore lace and anything whimsical. 

Who or what inspires you?

Lily Rose Depp has always been one of my biggest inspirations. I love watching myself grow as a model.

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

I would advise to always be yourself,  and if you have a dream or goal it is never too late to pursue that. 

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

I’ve struggled with ED in the past. That alone has shaped me and my mindset so much. I’ve learned so much on how to control impulsive thoughts and overcome my own struggles. 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I believe what makes me beautiful is not only what’s on the outside, but also in the inside. I care for others and I’ve always shown gratitude towards life. I truly am a dime in a dozen. 

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

Its ok to wake up and not feel so confident. I think so many people have days where their confidence is lower than others. Spending time alone doing the things you love will not only build you as a person. But also build character and confidence within.
