Answers to Q&A

Why did you want to become a model?

Becoming a model has always been a very big dream of mine since I can remember. I’ve always loved fashion. For me, fashion is so tightly intertwined with self-expression and I love that. I love the way that clothes can make you feel. The creative aspect of fashion is so empowering.

My biggest reason for wanting to work within the modelling world is because as an indigenous person, I grew up feeling that because of my racial identity I would never be able to take up space in industries like modelling. As I’ve gotten older, my views on this have changed. I don’t want the younger generations to feel like they can't achieve success because they are indigenous. People like me can be and will be successful in these spaces. I want to be a part of this change.

What makes you special?

What makes me special are my virtues and the fact that being a good person is of great importance to me. I take pride in having strong moral principles. It often makes me sad that there are a lot of bad things going on in the world. I know that by being kind, loving, and having generosity among many other virtues, I am helping to make the world even just a little bit of a better place.

What are you passionate about?

I’m passionate about personal development. Particularly things like spiritual, emotional and mental growth. I like doing activities that help to improve my awareness, skills, confidence, and especially the activities that help to cultivate my resilience.

What are you super interested in that most people have never heard of?

I’ve always loved the sciences, especially Quantum Mechanics/Physics. I’ve never been able to do the equations but it’s a very big interest of mine. The idea of living in a multi-dimensional universe and the possibilities of alternate realities to me is fascinating.

“In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist from moment to moment of what we like to think of as time.” - Richard K. Morgan

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