Turning Heads Around the World

When did you first get involved as a model? What or Who inspired you to pursue such a competitive career?

My family helped inspire my curiosity for modeling by putting me through etiquette classes many summers in elementary and junior high. I learned how to walk in heels, speak in public, apply makeup and dress for success.

I’m sure you have met a lot of talented individuals and/or celebrities along the way. Would your experiences with us?

I have met many people especially when I lived in Vegas - in general those people that have leveraged their talent and themselves to become successful in fitness, modeling, makeup and photography by having an entrepreneurial mentality and showcasing that through social media.

How has your modeling evolved since you first started?

I have had so many new opportunities since I first started to be more creative, push my own boundaries and stay relevant.

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

Passion drives me to keep moving forward with my vision despite others feeling otherwise. My visionis mine so I can’t expect others to understand it all the time.

Which ingredient do you think makes you special and unique as a performing artist in an industry overflowing with new faces and ideas?

My love for the art both in front of the camera and behind it! I appreciate and value the artistic lenses that have to come together to capture the vision and feeling of a shoot!

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

The challenge is overcoming my own ideas of being too short or too this or too that - there is beauty in all!

A common phrase as a performing artist is, “you must suffer for your art”. Do you agree with this statement? If so, how have you suffered for your art?

The suffering comes in the form of negative feedback you can get for pursuing your modeling passion. What I have learned is no matter what you are into there will always be people that aren’t into it - so do you and fight for your dreams!

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

The internet has opened many doors to new ideas, new people and collaborating with amazing photographers!

Do you have any hidden talents?

No hidden talents but I do have an affinity for wild cats and large animals in the wild- if I can do a photoshoot with them I will!

What is the best advice you have received?

Embrace the happy moments in life as long as humanly possible and push through the bad moments as fast as humanly possible!

What projects are you currently working on... that you can talk about?

Working on expanding my portfolio with unique shoots. Heading to beautiful Puerto Rico soon for a shoot as well!
