Answers to Q&A
Why did you want to become a model?
I wanted to become a model because for a very long time. I wished that the industry would include people that looked like me. I want to be part of the representation that younger girls get to see on t.v and magazines. I want them to know, and myself to believe that beauty comes in all forms. It shouldn’t be limited, and neither should I. Plus, modelling is really fun, you get to tell a story with out saying much and it turns out I’m a wicked story teller!
What makes you special?
My ability to adapt and grow are part of what makes me special. I am a tall, thick, confident woman and it’s bittersweet that people are often shocked by my abilities. I love that I’m well rounded and do a little bit of everything, ranging from the arts, to sports, to social issues. I don’t want to be just one thing, and I don’t limit myself to think I have to. My heart also makes me special because I always lead with kindness. I believe what you put out there, you receive in return. And I love that I take up space in every room I enter and that my light shines regardless.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about inclusitivioty and representation. I think it’s vital for the next generations to come, so they don’t believe that you have to look a certain way to accomplish things. As a former university athlete, I am passionate about women in sport. I believe more resources need to be allocated or shared amongst female athletes so that these young girls can grow to have careers in their respective sports too. I am also passionate about my crafts, whether it’s modelling, acting, or hosting I always try to give my best efforts and I truly enjoy doing them.
What are you super into the most people have never heard of?
Okay, so I’m sure a lot of people have heard of this show but I am obsessed with One Tree Hill. Aha I have a problem, because I love rewatching the series over and over every now and again. And yes I can recite some scenes, and will personally judge if someone has seen the show and isn’t team Brooke. I’m working on that though!
Describe your dream photoshoot.
My dream photoshoot could be shot anywhere but it has to be cool on set (those lights get hot!). It would be for any client that I feel good working with and having a wicked back end team. A stylist who can dress me, a makeup artist who knows my tone, a hair stylist who understands my hair, a photographer who has a vision and is encouraging. And there would be snacks, music, and a lot of good energy on set! I’ve been very fortunate to have almost had my dream photoshoot already, still have to figure out the heat part.
