How would you describe yourself in a few words?
In a few words, I would describe myself as a very outgoing person with a laid back soul.
How long have you been a model?
I have been modeling for a little over a year now. I took a break in between modeling to focus on my ballet career as a young adult.
How did you get into modelling?
I originally got interested in modeling after my first go see with Ford models when I was ten years old. Since then I have always wanted to be a model. It wasn’t until I was 16 that I was officially represented by the same agency that I am now. I simply just emailed them photos of myself and hoped for the best.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My first shoot was a trade for a print shoot to start my portfolio. It was outside at a park and very cold in the late fall of New York City. At first, I was nervous but as time went my comfort grew. I was satisfied with my first photos and one of them became a frequently used headshot.
What does modelling mean to you?
Modeling to me is a way of being able to express one’s personality through the lens of a camera. It is a powerful feeling to know you can make art with your body. That is why I love modeling.
A model you particularly admire?
A model I particularly admire would probably be Bella Hadid. Shes absolutely gorgeous, fun, and I’ve always liked models who rock dark brunette locks.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
If I could choose anywhere I would like to shoot it would probably be in Bali or Thailand. I would love to shoot in the jungle or on a new beach with warm clear blue water.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
My everyday style is pretty casual. I’m from Santa Barbara California and dancing every day and teaching dance, I pretty much stay in athletic clothes and something comfortable to compliment my work. That being said dressing up for a night out on the town is one of my favorite things to do.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
If I could live anywhere I would choose New York City. I grew up there and it will always be home to me. It is one of the greatest cities this world has to offer and its flourishing with the arts and creativity. To live comfortably in Manhattan would be a wonderful goal to achieve.
What is happiness?
Happiness to me is being able to enjoy life as it is while enjoying your everyday job. Traveling makes me the happiest, and getting to have the experience to travel with loved ones means the most to me.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
On a Friday night, you can definitely find me out on the town in Los Angeles. Warwick and One Oak are my favorite nightlife spots.
What’s your next goal?
Well, I don’t just have one goal. With my love for ballet and modeling, my future rests on what I can make of myself in those worlds. My next goal would be to dance full time for a company while continuing the model professionally. That being said my dream is to model for Sports Illustrated, Maxim, and Guess.
