Why do you like modeling?
I enjoy modeling for so many reasons. It gives me that moment in my life where I feel free of any worries. It’s almost like I’m in a different kind of world, where I can just be me. That 30 seconds of shine on the runway is me opening up to the world, with art, music, color and creativity.
During events and being backstage I got the opportunity to meet incredible people. It’s an amazing feeling to be able to share with others the same love and passion that I have for modeling. I met some of my really great friends through modeling and it’s incredible how we inspire one another. We look up to each other and support each other whether we are on stage or off.
Modeling helps me to be seen because for me, growing up it was hard to make friends and I struggled being able to be myself and staying true to who I am. As a model I see myself as a positive, strong individual that teens look up to and I enjoy being me and want to show the world my inner and outer beauty.
Favorite fashion icons
Audrey Hepburn is definitely one of my favorite fashion icons. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is one of my all time favorite movies that inspires me to dress the way I do. Growing up. I enjoyed dressing up and I still do, even to go to the grocery store. LOL.
Favorite designer
Zoe Grinfeld (from Connecticut). Her collections have been mind blowing. The colors, patterns, styles, details show so much of who she is and shows her creativity and passion for designing.
Wardrobe choices when you’re not modeling
My fedora hat is my baby. I love wearing it with my printed flower overalls. I also love skirts with long socks and sweaters.
Guilty pleasure
Bread/cheese
One thing you cannot leave the house without
Beside my cell phone, I will go with my Polaroid camera. I enjoy capturing a perfect moment with friends or beautiful things in general.
Favorite music
I love music and can listen to anything. However, I mostly listen to artists like Rihanna or Kendrick Lamar. I enjoy both of their albums. In the mornings Adele, sometimes Alicia Keys, and India Arie “Intro:Love” gets me ready to start my day right.
Favorite food
I enjoy food a lot. I love Mexican foods and Italian foods. I can eat Nachos and tacos all day, everyday! It makes me very happy in case anyone wanted to know.
