Answers to Q&A
What inspired you to become a model?
What inspired me to become a model was growing up seeking plus size representation and struggling to find it. This lit a fire in me to become that representation for others. I’ve always enjoyed performing and the arts so modeling was right up my alley as well. I’ve always just found modeling to be super fun. Growing up I was constantly getting dressed up for photoshoots in my room or around the park with friends. As I continue my modeling journey I get more and more excited for experiences that come my way in this industry. I was recently scouted a few months ago by Morgan Model Management through an instagram runway video I posted! I’ve been really enjoying my agency and can’t wait to continue working with them in the future.
What are you most excited about when it comes to modeling?
When it comes to modeling, what gets me most excited is definitely the fashion and learning about what looks good on my body. Working with different clients and stylists has been such an awesome experience for me because truth be told I don’t have the best fashion sense so it’s been great learning from what I’ve been dressed in. I’ve had opportunities to wear some incredible designs and such amazing artistries so far in my career and it gets me so excited every chance I get to try on a new piece.
Can you share some advice you have for models wanting to get into the industry?
Advice I would give to models trying to get into the industry is don’t hop onto the first agency you find and really do your research. As a queer plus size woman, I really made sure to look through agency rosters to see if I’d truly make a great fit and if the agency would really vouch for me.
Also, always remember to be kind and confident with clients and everyone you meet. Networking is huge and you never know who will cross your path!
