My biggest dream is to be a role model for young girls and women. I’d love to be able to empower them, and help them to see that we’re not defined by our circumstances or the world. I want my work to reflect that the possibilities are endless for whatever you wish to pursue in life. We live in a world that constantly wants to silence women, whether it be through our voice, how we choose to dress, or what values we have, but I want to be a part of the change and amplify our voices.

Starting to get into modeling can be very overwhelming, especially if you have no guidance. My advice would be to learn as much information as you possibly can, and start with your basic portfolio needs. Social media is much bigger than it used to be, so reach out to others. We have to work together in life! We’ve all been at the bottom, so teach others.

I believe that it is important to honor God’s image of you. He made each of us as individuals, so why would you want to be just like someone else? I work hard to stand confident in my own skin by taking good care of my body and my mind. I think it is important to be your true self and not let society’s version of beautiful negatively alter how you view yourself. Do what makes YOU feel beautiful!

Confidence is something that is not developed overnight. I am still on a journey to find full confidence for myself, and that is a daily lesson. However, it is important to recognize that you are a masterpiece created by God, and he made you as a person just the way you are. I would recommend examining your habits first, and seeing if there is something little that you can do daily or even weekly to make yourself feel more beautiful or confident. This can be as little as meal prepping healthy snacks, buying a new eyeshadow, or taking a long "everything" shower. These little things can go a long way, and consistency is key! You are truly unique, and developing yourself will make you confident, as you recognize how beautiful you are!

Start with small goals, and be proud of yourself when you achieve them. Have a level of confidence and positivity that people feel when they meet you, and allow yourself to be a beginner taking every opportunity to learn and grow.

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.

I would describe my style as timeless and simple. I love neutral tones and typically go for black or white pieces. I like to dress clean and feminine and feel the most confident when I’m wearing something that is comfortable and fits my body type well.

Try not to listen to all the opinions around you especially if they are hateful. You should always hold your head high and remember who you are. I know it is easier said than done, but you were born to be you, so don’t compare yourself to others and remember that you are unique in your own way.

 Even if you don’t do runway, have a walk and practice every chance you get. That goes for poses too! Also NETWORKING is incredibly important.

To me to be your own kind of beautiful is to let your inner beauty shine. None of the outer beauty matters when the inside is rotten. The inner beauty shows your true self and can get you much further than a nice smile or shining eyes. A sense of humor, intelligence, sense of self can get someone so much farther than looks alone. I have found in personal experience people who rely more on their personality are the ones I get along with better. Those are the genuine people and their inner beauty is so much more outstanding than the rest.

God has made people that way they are for a reason, and there is no changing that. If you’re struggling with confidence, I would say to just pop in front of a camera and give it a go. To just be yourself and be happy in front of that camera. Gain some confidence and courage to be in front of that camera, and stop those through to from telling you otherwise. You are beautiful.

Stop letting others plant negative ideas in their mind about who or what they need to look like. Confidence is always from within. You have to mentally focus on how good and happy you feel in your own skin. Be appreciative of yourself because you are the ONLY you there is. That’s something to be pretty damn proud of.

Confidence comes from within, and the key is to embrace your uniqueness and focus on what makes you feel good about yourself. It’s so important to surround yourself with positive influences, and to seek support from friends and family members who uplift you. Always be kind to yourself, try to challenge negative thoughts, and believe in your own worth.

The modeling industry, to me, is a canvas of boundless creativity and self-expression. It's the amalgamation of diverse styles, cultures, and individual stories that fuel my inspiration. The captivating artistry in fashion, the ability to embody different personas through poses and styles, and the power to convey emotions without words inspire me deeply.

Something I would say to someone who is struggling with their confidence is to understand that everyone has their own insecurities. Think of the most beautiful person you know, chances are they have their own insecurities that you would never even think of! Everyone struggles with their confidence and their appearance, we can control how much value we put on that though by understanding that we aren’t the only ones struggling and that there is so much more to life than the way we look. Something that’s really helped me is turning to my Faith. Understanding that comparison is the thief of joy and that we were all meticulously, beautifully, and uniquely made by the Creator. 

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” 

Psalm 139:14
