Answers to Q&A

Why did you want to become a model?

I wanted to become a model because being in front of the camera is a place that felt right for me. Growing up as a competitive dancer I loved movement and the artistic side of dance where through each detail (costumes, facials, music, each movement etc.) a story is told, and the dancer is able to connect with the audience and make them feel something. Although I do not dance anymore I am grateful that I am able to continue this through modelling. I’ve always loved the exposure to different perspectives, working with creatives, and bouncing off of each other to bring a vision to life, and to me that is the most special thing about becoming a model.

What makes you special?

What makes me special is my determination and hunger to grow each day. I see myself as a student in each aspect of my life, studying and putting in the work to become the best version of myself and to fulfill my true potential. I believe that by achieving this I will live out my dream life as well as show others that they can achieve this too no matter what their current circumstances are.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about about art. I love various forms of art but my favourites would have to be music, fashion, modelling, dance, and writing. I love the way that art can be interpreted in many ways and that we typically interpret it in a way that relates or makes sense to us. No matter our differences, art is something that all of humanity indulges in. I can go on about art forever but something I love about it is the way it is able to reveal our most vulnerable and true self.

When you are not modeling, what do you do on your day off?

On my days off I move my body in some way whether it is pilates, dancing, the gym, running, a sport or something new. I love going on my hot girl walks, I usually bring my dog and listen to music during them. I love reading, and meditating and just all of my self care activities. I like take my time off to spend time with my loved ones, and have my moments alone to recharge. One of my favourite things to do on a day off is to go to a concert. Live music is my happy place and I love dressing up according to the artist I am seeing, screaming and dancing to the songs, and connecting with people who also share the same love as me.

If you could give an aspiring model any advice, what would it be?

If I could give an aspiring model any advice I would say to trust the process. We all have our own timing and journeys and I believe if modelling is something you truly love and you continue to work towards your goals non-stop they are bound to become your reality it is just a matter of right timing. Before that right timing hits prepare yourself for when the opportunity comes by working your skills, connecting with people in the industry and work on yourself each area of yourself especailly mentally.
