How did you break into the modeling and entertainment industry? When exactly did you realize you had a gift and energy that was contagious enough to bring joy to those around you through hosting?

I started modeling when I was eighteen years old, in the San Francisco market It was something I always wanted to do as a child, so I went for it! When I met with agents in my area for representation, ALL of them told me no They did not believe that my look was "striking" enough and they did not want to take the risk I was CRUSHED & sort of felt like an unattractive person

Soon after experiencing those "no's", I started researching open calls for models in my area that did not require an agent and started attending those to see if I could work around not having any representation. Immediately, I started getting booked for runway shows, receiving brand deals with local designers, & being featured in international magazines, which reinvigorated my faith in having a modeling career Soon, I became a staple in the SF Market, with little-to-no outside assistance, which helped me evolve with resistance.

I started hosting events in high school, such as our annual fashion shows, pep rallys, and commencement ceremonies My school's faculty saw after my first time hosting a large event that I had a lot of charisma and fearlessness, so they started specifically asking me to host most events during my high school tenure Eventually, I went to college for broadcast journalism and had hopes of becoming either a news anchor or a professional red carpet commentator Public
