Tell us about yourself

My name is Kasi, but some people call me Kate. I'm 34, and am from Louisville, KY, which is where I currently reside.

Tell us about your modeling experience 

I always wanted to model since childhood, so my mother put me in modeling classes. I did my first professional runway show when I was 18. I have experience with doing runway, print, and promotional, modeling.  I have done two commercials, and would love the opportunity to do more.  Most of the runway shows that I have done have been local shows. I have traveled to nearby cities for shows as well, in Cincinnati, and Indianapolis.  I've worked with 2 photographers in New York City on photoshoots, and recently had the opportunity to audition for New York Fashion Week, but did not get picked. So I hope to one day, be able to walk in a NYFW fashion show as well

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to become a mother, to become an entrepreneur, so that I can be my own boss,  and also to walk in either New York Fashion Week, and/or Paris Fashion Week.

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?

It's more about who you are inside that makes a person beautiful. Someone who is genuinely compassionate toward others, not just because they want to be seen, but simply because that's who they really are, is beautiful .  I personally feel like we all have insecurities, but when we reflect on our insecurities and try to make ourselves better, instead of putting someone else down, that's truly beautiful. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

My style is controlled by how I feel. Most of the time, I'm relaxed, and I like to wear something simple like leggings and a simple top. However, I do love to play in make-up, so whenever I've got on a full face of makeup, I do love for my clothes to be more glamorous

Who or what inspires you?

I'm greatly inspired by my parents, and my faith as a Christian.  I also am inspired by my past mistakes, because it's very important to me to grow as a person, and to be better than I was the day before

What have been your greatest accomplishments?

My greatest accomplishments have been graduating from college, and overcoming some of my worst battles with depression

Do you have any special talents?

I am a makeup artist, and am currently learning the art of photography. 

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.

An obstacle that I sometimes battle with is depression.  It started about 5 years ago, when my mother became ill. I had never experienced it before, but I recognized it right away, and I sought professional help for it.  However, I still deal with it from time to time. I feel like it has changed me, because it has caused me to really go for what really makes me happy. I no longer, want to just go with the flow of things, or wait for things to happen for me. It has made me a fighter, and more determined to make the most out of my good days.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I am beautiful, because I'm genuinely a caring person. When it comes to the people I love, I always have there best interest at heart, and they know they always can count on me. 

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?

I would tell them, that it's ok to have insecurities, because most people do. Even me, but the thing that keeps me from sinking into the low self esteem pit, is reminding myself of what I am capable of. Sometimes the most beautiful people can struggle with their confidence, but we have to sometimes stop to reflect on what makes us unique. We also have something about ourselves that we can be proud of, so whenever you start to feel like you aren't good enough, just simply think of something that you overcame, whether it be big or small, something recent, or years ago, and then celebrate that victory, because you are more than enough.
