How would you describe yourself in a few words?
Goofy, chaotic, creative, driven.


How long have you been a model?
I’d say about a year….only professionally for a few months.


How did you get into modeling?
I was in a semi-serious relationship with a guy who decided he wanted to pursue photography. He enrolled in a few community college classes and always used me as his model for his projects because we lived together and I was always around annnndddd he naturally just felt more comfortable shooting with me (his girlfriend) because we were familiar with each other etc. after a while of only shooting with him for his school projects, my Instagram starting gaining traction and other photographers started asking to work with me and repost my photos on their Instagram accounts or use me for their own projects and so on.


How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience?
SOOOOOOOOOO UNCOMFORTABLE OHMYGODDDDD. My first photoshoot ever was a nude shoot. And I was ok with that because I was an exotic dancer and was used to people seeing me nude, but having the vulnerability that comes with being nude caught in a still moment was sort of nerve-racking, humbling, and empowering at the same time. Plus, seeing myself nude caught in a moment was something entirely new to me – like I said, I was used to being nude for others but being nude for myself was very uncomfortable….if that makes any sense?


What does modeling mean to you?
It’s self-appreciative and creative for me. I enjoy the process of working with a photographer and creating a specific atmosphere or feeling out of what an average passerby might take for granted– I did this shoot in a parking garage a few months ago on a busy night that kind of looked like a BAD scenario to shoot in; the photographer and I were both kinds of frustrated with the situation but those shots turned out to be some of the most unique photos I’ve ever seen – let alone, be a part of. I guess, modeling is a creative outlet for me and I like the realness of it….there’s nowhere to hide when you’re the subject of a photo and having the ability to look at those photos later on and remember exactly how you felt, what the conversation was, what song was playing, what the weather was like, blah blah blah is a really cool concept in my opinion.


A model you particularly admire?
there’s quite a few that I admire….but the big one is Sarah Kohen. I want to be her when I grow up.


If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
Oia or Fira on Santorini….Greece. I went there when I was 17 and I have so many magical memories there and I’m dying to go back….not only is it aesthetically appealing for landscapes and portraits…it’s an amazing way of life that the locals have. I was really happy there.


What is your dressing style in everyday life?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA somewhere between a personal trainer and a homeless man. Luckily I was born and raised in California so I can get away with that here – but it’s pretty much just because I’m really active and most days my schedule is pretty booked up between running 8 miles, going to a photo shoot, getting groceries, hanging out with my family and friends, teaching a dance class, driving to LA and back, and writing posts for my little blog. So I kind of just wear clothes that are comfy and relaxed….flip flops and t-shirts every day.


If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Lahaina on Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. I’ve vacationed there a couple times and the last time I was there I almost got hired as a manager at a gym hahahaha….I think I probably will move there in the future but just not yet…getting my ducks in a row with school and finances before I fly over and set up camp. It’s so relaxed there and everyone there is in a good mood because they’re either on vacation, or they live in Hawaii……how could you possibly be in a bad mood if you live in Hawaii?


What is happiness?
Well, that’s kind of a loaded question, isn’t it? I’m honestly still trying to figure out what happiness is…..so far what I’ve come up with is that happiness is beyond circumstances and tangible objects. I was diagnosed with severe depression when I was 14 and yeah, there were harsh circumstances that I was going through that made the depression understandable….but even when the stars are aligned and you have a surplus of money, people around you that love you, a great job, live in a great place and are healthy….it’s still possible to be unhappy….I think happiness is a conscious choice and a way of life that should be practiced every day regardless of what kind of situation you’re currently in. Some people think “when I have this I’ll be happy”, or “when I get promoted I’ll be happy”, “when I go on vacation I’ll be happy”…..the list goes on. happiness is a state of mind that should be accessible to anyone at any time in any location completely free of charge.


Where can we find you on a Friday night?
It depends…..I’m typically a workaholic so if I’m not shooting or working at some sort of event and I happen to have some free time…..I’ll be partying HAHAHAHA. I’m definitely a work hard play hard type of person. I like to drink Patrón and dance around with my friends to some really good music.


What’s your next goal?
I have a lot. It’s to be happy and be single and stop caring about how others see me and just practice being myself.

I actually can’t remember, I am so bad haha

Modelling is something I really enjoy; the glamour the beauty, I love it all.

How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I am a Virgo but secretly think I’m a Leo - I’m headstrong, can be stubborn and definitely bossy, but I’d like to think that I am a loyal friend and am adventurous and always up to try something new!


How long have you been a model?
I’ve been modeling for just about a year now in April. Not long!


How did you get into modelling?
I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the 35 finalists for the Sports Illustrated Swim Model Search out of thousands of submissions. It really gave me the boost of confidence I needed to take modeling more seriously.


How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My very first shoot was with Sports Illustrated during their casting call in Brooklyn, NY. It was pretty surreal that I got to work with so many talented models and photographers for my very first professional shoot.


What does modelling mean to you?
Modeling is something that has changed to me in many ways over the course of a year. When I was younger it was something I thought was unattainable, and something that people could only dream of. I wasn’t born the stature of a runway model and that was all my generation grew up seeing. Today, being a model and modeling means being strong and confident and comfortable in your own skin and embracing that. Being different is sexy and that’s what I want others to realize too.


A model you particularly admire?
I love Kate Upton. She was one of the first models who really broke down those walls of the “standard model.” She had curves! And it was so refreshing to see someone who worked that!


If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
Anywhere tropical. But my mom is from Puerto Rico and lived there much of her life so it would be fun to visit family and friends there and also be able to shoot on the beautiful beaches!


What is your dressing style in everyday life?
I like to call my style “very Jennifer Anniston.” So in other words, very laid back and relaxed but put together. Boyfriend jeans are my favorite, with a worn-in tee.


If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I’ve always said that I’d be happy in a shack on a beach in Hawaii or Australia.


What is happiness?
To me, happiness is being at peace with yourself. Whether that means quitting a job that isn’t right for you and starting fresh or taking time to work on parts of yourself that need self-love. It’s being able to wake up in the morning and feel like you’re doing what you love but always chasing new goals and adventures.


Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Friday is date night! I love going to a good restaurant with my boyfriend and having a few drinks while catching up on the week and unwinding for the weekend.


What’s your next goal?
To shoot more big jobs in other major cities! I love to travel!
