Hello! My name is Renée, and I come from the vibrant city of Delray Beach. Currently, I am a student in Florida where I am pursuing pre-medicine. Living in Delray Beach has instilled in me a deep

appreciation for the beach, which I adore spending time at whenever I can. Outside of academics, my interests include modeling, indulging in retail therapy during shopping sprees, and exploring the diverse culinary scene. I find joy in simple pleasures like taking leisurely walks around Tampa Bay, and my favorite moments are those spent

hanging out with friends and family, creating lasting memories together

Tell us about your modeling experience.

The past 2 years I have been walking in the Delray Beach Fashion Show for the French company Chef

D’oeuvre. This started my modeling career by getting me into the industry and learning the behind the scenes

of what it takes to put on a runway show. I absolutely love runway shows and they are easily one of my

favorite things to do.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to be rich in success. I am currently a student, while also chasing my dreams at Hannah Noelle Models. I believe anything is possible when you put your mind to it and

I am exactly doing that.

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

Recognizing and appreciating your strengths, talents, and achievements, fostering a sense of confidence that radiates from within. Celebrating what makes you unique and resisting societal pressures to conform to narrow standards of beauty. Your individuality is what sets you apart and makes you beautiful in your own way.

How would you describe your fashion style?

In cultivating my chic and effortless vibe in clothing and fashion wear, I embrace a timeless elegance that

effortlessly blends sophistication with a subtle nod to classic aesthetics. My wardrobe reflects a curated collection of pieces that exude refinement, opting for quality over trends. I gravitate towards tailored silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, and muted color palettes that evoke a sense of understated opulence. Accessories play a pivotal role, with vintage finds and heirloom pieces adding a touch of history and sentimentality to my ensemble. This sartorial choice is more than a fashion statement; it”s a lifestyle that honors the enduring allure of old money elegance, transcending

temporal trends to embody a style that is both enduring and effortlessly chic.

Who or what inspires you?

Princess Diana continues to inspire me with her timeless grace, compassion, and unwavering commitment to

humanitarian causes. Her ability to transcend the boundaries of royalty and connect with people on a deeply human level is truly remarkable. Her legacy of kindness and her genuine concern for the well-being of others serve as a constant reminder that even those in positions of privilege can use their influence to make a positive impact in the world. Princess Diana’s enduring spirit encourages me to approach life with empathy, kindness, and a genuine desire to contribute to the welfare of others.

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?

For someone just embarking on a modeling career, my advice would be to prioritize authenticity and resilience. Embrace your uniqueness and don’t feel pressured to conform to conventional standards. Build a strong foundation by investing time in understanding the industry, honing your craft, and collaborating with reputable professionals. Stay true to your values and maintain a healthy balance between confidence and humility. Rejections are inevitable, but view them as opportunities for growth rather than setbacks.

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

One significant obstacle I have grappled with in my life is fear, an emotion that once held me captive in its

paralyzing grip. Whether it was fear of failure, judgment, or the unknown, it created barriers that hindered personal and professional growth. Overcoming this pervasive fear required a gradual process of self-reflection and deliberate steps outside my comfort zone. By acknowledging and facing my fears head-on, I discovered resilience and a newfound sense of empowerment. Each small victory over fear became a catalyst for personal transformation. It taught me that the path to growth often lies beyond the boundaries of what is comfortable. This experience shaped me into a more courageous and adaptable individual, instilling a belief in my ability to navigate challenges with resilience and a willingness to embrace the uncertainties that life presents. Fear, once an obstacle, became a catalyst for self-discovery and positive change.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

Beauty and handsomeness extend far beyond mere physical attributes. What truly makes someone beautiful or handsome is the authenticity they carry within. It’s the warmth of a genuine smile, the kindness reflected in their actions, and the confidence that radiates from embracing their individuality. True beauty lies in the way someone treats others, their compassion, and the positive energy they bring into the world. It’s the sparkle in their eyes when they are passionate about something and the authenticity that shines through in every gesture. Physical appearance may catch the eye, but it’s the inner qualities, such as empathy, integrity, and self-assurance, that create a lasting and captivating allure.

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

To anyone grappling with confidence challenges, know that you're not alone, and it's okay not to have it all figured out. Self-discovery is a journey, not a destination. Embrace your unique qualities and recognize that imperfections make us human and relatable. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family who appreciate you for who you are. Take small steps outside your comfort zone, as each accomplishment, no matter how minor, contributes to personal growth. Remember that confidence is a skill that can be cultivated over time. Celebrate your achievements, and be kind to yourself during setbacks. You are capable, resilient, and deserving of self-love. Seek inspiration from those who have overcome similar struggles, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support. Your journey to confidence is a process, and with patience and self-compassion, you will discover the strength within you.
