How and when did you start modeling?
I started modeling when I was about seventeen. I walked into an agency open call downtown and was offered a contract after the meeting.
What’s the most surprising thing you have discovered about modeling?
Something I was pleasantly surprised by would have to be the amount of amazing friendships and connections I’ve made throughout my modeling journey. Although the industry can be competitive and intense, I’ve been able to meet many talented artists of all forms. There are so many different ways artists can collaborate with models and I’ve had so much fun pushing creative boundaries with them!
What is your favorite way to get model-ready?
I always start fresh out of the shower and take my time with skin care. Prep work is equally as important as the glam! While I get ready I make sure I play my favorite music to get me energized and in a good mood.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
Ideally I would love to be featured in more magazines, fashion campaigns, and runways! I also really want to further my acting career, I have always dreamt of starring in movies.
