What inspired you to start modeling?
My Mom was a model in her early years. She was my biggest inspiration to getting started
How did you get your start?
I submitted photos to a bunch of modeling agencies and I got a bunch of responses back.
Who are your role models in the industry?
Veruschka von Lehndorff, Grace Coddington and Claudia Schiffer
Describe your first modeling job.
A Bloomingdale´s campaign when I was 9 years old
What has your favorite modeling job been and why?
The campaign I recently shot for Zulu and zephyr in Hawaii. Hawaii is a magical place and holds a special place in my heart. The scenery was so beautiful and the shots turned out amazing.
Where can we find you? (Billboards, storefronts, any current campaigns, etc.?)
Currently I have a couple campaigns out for brands such as Garage, Zulu and Zephyr, minimale animale, Bobbi Brown, Ft. Louisa, beachbunny swimwear
Where have you traveled for work? Anywhere in particular that stands out?
I’ve traveled to many countries and cities for work to name a few UK, Scotland, France, Bahamas, Hawaii, Texas, NYC etc.
Scotland is one place that stood out to me. Scotland has a rugged landscape and an extraordinary scenery. The country is mystical and much different then what I’m used to. Edinburgh is one of the most charming and beautiful cities I’ve ever been to. The architecture is insane
Describe your career goals.
At the end of the day my goal is to be doing what I love and I already am. I would love to get more into acting since I’ve been a theater kid my whole life as well as produce/direct/write my own films.
What type of role does Instagram play in your daily life and career?
Instagram is a great marketing platform for people in this industry. But to be truthful I’m not the biggest fan of the app. Everyone is so brainwashed by it and their lives become so saturated. The app surely helps me book my jobs but I don’t let if affect my personal life.
Today, brands are often looking for multidimensional models that bring another quality or attribute, aside from their beautiful looks, to the table. What do you believe makes you stand out?
One thing that makes me stand out is I will always teach people how to live.
What’s next?
One day at a time
