About Model

I started modeling almost a year ago with very little confidence. It’s like a light bulb turned on after I set foot into my first casting and the light keeps getting brighter. Never before have I felt encouraged to embrace myself and shine as bright as I could. I spent a lot of my life dimming my own light and walking on eggshells. Being a model, I learned that it’s through confidence that I help brands bring their vision to life and not by playing small. I have since learned to love myself more and take better care of who I am and encourage others to do that same. Being a model has encouraged to step out of my comfort zone and be who I thought I could never be. If I had known what I would gain being a model, I would have started a lot sooner. My goal is to take my talent internationally and work with brands that I have always loved. I am eager to explore different types of modeling and experience more growth. My hope is to inspire others who may feel that it’s too late to be a model
