Answers to Q&A
What INSPIRED you to become a model?
I became a model because of my mom who followed in her own mother’s footsteps at the age of 16 as a model. Which makes me the third-generation model of my family. My grandmother modelled with Liz Bell in the 80s which is how she is my mom’s mother agent as well as mine now. I grew up observing my mom's passion for modeling and knew that it was something I needed to do. Since childhood I’ve been shooting with my mom and fell in love with the art of transforming in so many ways.
What are you most excited about when it comes to modeling?
I am inspired when allowing myself to be bold and step out of my comfort zone. Modeling has helped me find my confidence and I hope it will help me become the woman I've always imagined myself as. I think it’s very beautiful how much expression is shown through images. I'm excited to see where the industry takes me and the people, I will connect with along my journey.
Can you share with us some advice you have for models wanting to get into the industry?
I think one piece of advice I would give to a new model is seeing your career as something for you to create. Try not to compare yourself to other models but let them inspire you. I have so many things to learn still, but I find that with modeling comes a lot of down time. Trying to stay focused and well-rounded as a human being is the best way to be seen by the industry. Radiate the energy that you want from others and always be your own muse.
share a fun fact about yourself!
I enjoy making art, including poetry, short films, and paintings.
I also enjoy working behind the camera. I've created several short films that I wrote, directed, and produced myself. In addition to filmmaking, I play on two soccer teams; soccer has been one of my biggest passions since I started playing at age five.
