Tell us about yourself: I was born and raised in Albuquerque New Mexico and I am currently living in the beautiful town of San Luis Obispo California. I work at a gym as a Personal Instructor and I also work part time at a bakery. My mission in life is to be a light in the world and help people achieve their goals both mentally and physically. 

Tell us about your modeling experience: My modeling experience consists of modeling for the SOBEIT brand, walking in SWAIA fashion shows and working with local artists in Albuquerque, New Mexico creating different types of looks through photography/modeling. I am looking to expand both my knowledge and experience in modeling and fashion in any and every way possible. 

What is your biggest dream? My biggest dreams in modeling is working with more brands (especially fitness, Nike, Adidas etc) and walking for more designers. In my career as a personal trainer, I would love to open my own gym/spa someday. 

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful? To be your own kind of beautiful means to be authentically yourself everyday, to not let people influence how you view the world or yourself. Do something you love everyday, whether that is eating good food, going for a walk, having a movie day or hiking. Being your own kind of beautiful consists of being kind to yourself even when life can be difficult and always striving towards your passions and the things you love. Being your own kind of beautiful is never giving up on yourself and your dreams. 

How would you describe your fashion style? I would describe my fashion as classy, with a little bit of edge. I am already tall but I enjoy wearing high heels, which makes me about 6’1-6’2. I often enjoy a vintage type of look for casual days and long dresses and mini skirts for going out. 

What advice would you give to someone who is just starting in modeling? My advice to someone that is just getting into modeling, is to express yourself authentically and creatively. If you can picture it in your head you can make it happen. As well as never give up on your dreams to model, keep pushing and pushing until you achieve them. 

What are some obstacles you have faced and how have they changed you? My biggest obstacles I have had to overcome in my life has been almost losing my mom to Covid-19. Although it was a horrible experience, I realized how short and how precious life is. You only have so much time on this Earth so spend as much time with the people you love, be kind, and always chase your dreams. Another obstacle I have had to face recently was taking the risk of moving to California, I had no job and little money when I moved out here and now I have completely flourished I have the job that is going to help me move forward with my career, and I am finding myself more and more everyday.

What makes you beautiful? What makes me beautiful is my energy, I have worked in customer service on and off for 4 years and I have always been complemented on how personable I am, as well as how bubbly I am. 

What would you tell someone who is struggling with their confidence? I would tell someone my age who is struggling with confidence to just keep pushing through the uncomfortable moments. Take time to self observe and reflect on what might be making you feel this way. As well as take time everyday to do something that makes you feel good and that you love. I would tell them that no matter happens in life they have something unique to offer this world.
