Tell us about yourself
I am from Kingston MA and have lived here my entire life! Something I have always loved is dance. I have danced my entire life and even at 22 years old still love choreographing and moving. I recently graduated from college with my Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science as well as Dance. Next year I am returning to school for my Masters in Athletic Training. I can't wait to see what the future brings!
Tell us about your modeling experience.
Growing up a dancer, I was used to being photographed each year and I absolutely loved it. In high school and into college, I would always plan little photoshoots with my friends around town. I truly enjoyed posing, fashion, as well as editing all the photos. In 2020 a local photographer reached out and we planned a photoshoot and that is when my love for modeling grew. Since then I have been working with various photographers and I hope to start working with more brands as well as fashion designers.
What is your biggest dream?
I would love to become a runway model. I have not yet walked in a show, but someday I hope for the opportunity.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
I love this question! Everyone has their own beauty and it should be celebrated. Your individuality makes you special and beauty comes in many forms. Embrace who you are and be confident in yourself always. :)
How would you describe your fashion style?
My fashion style is comfy but cute. You will see me the majority of the time in something comfy, but when I do dress up I love a sleek look. Blacks, beiges, creams, whites, and greys are my go to colors. Neutrals with a little pop of color will always be my thing.
Who or what inspires you?
I have always been a very motivated person and want to do the best I can. I feel as if my own future is a big motivator for me. I am working three jobs as well as modeling right now and I am working around the clock for the best future I can get. Not only that, other models motivate me. I see these big well known models doing these incredible things in their life and I would be forever grateful for those opportunities. Local models I am familiar with have been working with brands, doing runway shows, and shooting with amazing photographers are also motivation for me.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
It takes time! Don't give up no matter what. It's a tough industry and I am still learning and growing!
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
I have faced obstacles like self doubt and fear of failure. These obstacles made me much stronger and more resilient.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
What makes me beautiful is being confident in who I am and embracing all my qualities. I have always struggled with acne and I've tried every serum, medication, supplement, and face wash there is. Nothing seems to help, but recently I decided to embrace it and not care what other people say. I began to go makeup free in public a lot more often and I noticed that it was mostly all in my head. Nobody around me actually cares! My confidence and imperfections make me beautiful.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
I have always struggled with confidence. Growing up I did not have a huge social life. I had only a couple friends throughout middle and high school and not many people knew who I was. I was very shy and had very little confidence. My advice is to put yourself out there even if it makes you uncomfortable. Try new things, meet new people, put yourself into new situations that you usually wouldn't. I wish I did this when I was younger to be more confident, it would have helped me a lot in the long run.
