Answers to Q&A

Why did you want to become a model?

Originally I didn't want to. I had a very different image in my mind of what a model was. It wasn't until I was doing photoshoots for fun, that my perception of it changed and my interest in it grew. I then realized it was something I wanted to pursue. Modelling has been such an interesting creative outlet that I've been able to participate in.

What makes you special?

I'd like to think what makes me special is my curiosity for new experiences. Majority of the times when I step on set it's different people with new ideas, and there's something so exciting in that. This world is so large, there are so many new people to meet, and things to try.

What are you passionate about?

Reading. Ha Ha! Not the most exciting answer, but a good book can have you feeling like you've travelled and experienced something amazing.

How did you become a model?

It all started with a Craigslist ad. One day I was scrolling through Craigslist and saw an ad from a vintage store that was searching for someone to model their jeans. I responded to it and got accepted. During the shoot they mentioned my mother agent and suggested I apply. They ended up emailing my mother agent for me and fast forward, here I am.

Describe your dream photoshoot:

This is super random, but I've always thought it would be so fun to do a shoot for one of those lovesick romance novels. The type where the girl is in a long flowy dress clutching her pearls and running down the beach to her lover. The more dramatic the better.
