Tell us about yourself

-I'm 19yrs and from Huntsville, Alabama!

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

- I have done photoshoots for about 3 years, but began taking modeling seriously about a year ago. I've done 3 photoshoots, one with Brittany Arbogast and two with Carl Miller Photography. I've also been a volunteer model for Alabama Fashion Alliance.

What is your biggest dream?

-My biggest dream is to own a modeling agency for young women like me.

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

-To be your own kind of beautiful means to always be kind to yourself no matter what society thinks.Always stay true to yourself.

How would you describe your fashion style?

-I would describe my style as streetwear/punk, though I find all styles to be beautiful. 

Who or what inspires you? 

-My mother inspires me every say to be the best that I can be and to strive for more.

What have been your greatest accomplishments?

- My greatest accomplishment so far is finding an agency that I can say that I trust and I know will be an amazing experience. 

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

-When I was younger my family became homeless and we started switching in between my great grandfather's house and hotels. During that time I became very sad and angry and I closed myself off from a lot of people. It's sad to say that I did not like myself at all. When I was 16 I was diagnosed with depression,  and was prescribed antidepressants and started going to therapy. Around that time I've also done a photoshoot with Brittany Arbogast. It helped me a lot with my confidence.  3 years later, I am confident in myself and my modeling career, I also feel ten times better about the way that I look. In other words, you'll always find a way back to yourself,  sometimes you just need a little push.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

-I believe that my perspective of the world makes me beautiful,  because I'm able to see beauty in everyone and everything. 

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

- Never believe that anyone is more beautiful/handsome than you are, because at the end of the day there will NEVER be another you.
