Stepping into her Comfort Zone

When did you first get into modeling?

I started modeling in March of this year.

Who or What inspired you to be a model?

For a few years people here and there would tell me I should model, but it never occurred as an option to me. I grew up up being told it is a shame to show your body. After deciding to break those chains and explore what I was personally comfortable with, I saw a friend of mine going on all expenses paid vacations and doing music videos and it looked like a lot of fun. I decided to try it just for the fun of it.

What style of model do you consider your work to be?

I consider my work to be classy budior, lingerie, implied nude, swimwear and fashion. I love doing all different types.

If you were forced to choose only one, which emotion, more than any other drives you to stay in this tough business? Is it joy, anger, desire, passion or pride and why?

I would have to say it’s desire. I have a desire to change my life, to push myself further, to do things I never thought I could do, and to break chains of unbelief.

What do you think makes you stand out in an industry overflowing with new faces?

I pride myself in being an honest person, and being genuine and kind. I love to Bring energy to a room and make everyone happy, and I feel comfortable being myself and expressing my personality through my work.

What has been your biggest challenge as a model? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?

I’d have to say my biggest challenge has been dealing with the judgment and backlash of my family and some others I used to be close to. I’ve learned to accept not everyone will approve of the path I’ve chosen, but that MY happiness should come before anyone’s opinion of me. It’s hard not to care what everyone thinks or what they’re saying about you or to you, but you just have to set personal boundaries and protect your dreams from the people who try to put a damper on them.

A common phrase in the industry is, “you must suffer for your art”. Do you agree with this statement? If so, how have you suffered for your art?

Yes, I agree. I’ve suffered in many ways; some being dealing with haters, having to block people who Harass me for nude photos or sex, to having to spend hours in the gym and watching my diet. None of this is easy, but it’s worth it to watch yourself grow!

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the modeling industry?

Unfortunately the internet has allowed people to be much bolder and more disgusting than they would be in person. People say things they’d never say to your face over the internet. On the other hand, the internet has been a great tool for advertising, making connections and finding great inspiration!

What is the best advise you have received?

The best advice I’ve received is to follow my own conscience instead of what others are saying, and to keep my head up and the goal in sight.

What’s next for you?

Up next, I’m taking a big step by reducing my house cleaning business to part time so that I can have more freedom to travel and build my modeling career.
