About Me:

I hail from the beautiful state of Tennessee (now based in Florida but always traveling when/where I can!). My journey in the world of modeling has been a passionate pursuit for over a decade. I've always been captivated by the power of fashion and the artistry that goes into creating stunning visual narratives.

My goals in the modeling industry are rooted in my love for continuous learning and growth. I see modeling as a canvas where I can help bring a brand's vision and products to life. Whether it's through print, editorial spreads, or the excitement of the runway, I'm driven to inspire and connect with people through the art of fashion.

In addition to my modeling career, I'm deeply committed to making a positive impact on the world. I founded Harvest107 nearly a decade ago with the mission to combat hunger and malnutrition by establishing sustainable food sources in underserved communities. This passion for giving back, combined with my love for glamour and style, is what initially drew me to pageantry. Today, I use my platform to encourage individuals of all ages to pursue their dreams, just as I have.

Modeling Experience:

I have been modeling for over 10 years and worked on a myriad of projects. From commercials, to bridal runway, swim shoots, and more, I have a passion for bringing a brands vision to life. I have even recently ventured into UGC modeling and worked with brands like L’Oreal and Aussie. 

Biggest Dream:

My dream is simple: to leave an impact on this world. It’s important to leave this world better than we found it, whether it’s through giving back, a random act of kindness, or inspiring through media.

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

Being "your own kind of beautiful" isn't about fitting into any one definition or standard. It's a personal journey of embracing what makes you, YOU, and radiating confidence from the inside out. Passion, authenticity, and embracing your story are key. 

Fashion Style:

My go-to look is tailored elegance with a modern flair. I love the way a well-cut blazer can instantly elevate an outfit, and I always try to incorporate something current, like a trendy silhouette or a bold color.

“What inspires you?”:

I'm deeply inspired by the raw power of creativity. Seeing an artist pour into a canvas, hearing emotions through music - it ignites a fire within me! I'm a sucker for thought-provoking design, whether it's the sleek functionality of a modern building or the intricate patterns found in nature.

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

If you're just starting with modeling, practice poses in front of the mirror. Learn how to accentuate your body and walk confidently. Most importantly, believe in yourself! Confidence shines through in photos and on the runway. Remember, rejection is part of the industry, so don't let it discourage you. Be patient, persistent, and keep learning. 

Describe from obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has shaped you:

As a young female nonprofit founder, my voice wasn't always heard at first. That experience taught me that perseverance and hard work truly speak louder than words.

Living and working in another country, a new culture required complete immersion. Learning the language wasn't just about communication; it opened a window into people's hearts and struggles. Every conversation, every shared meal, deepened my understanding of the world. This immersion fostered an empathy I never knew possible and equipped me to connect with people on a truly meaningful level.

What makes you beautiful:

My creativity allows me to see the world in new ways and express myself. I also value kindness and compassion, and I try to show that in everything I do. Beauty radiates from within and I hope to leave the world a more beautiful place than I found it. 

“What would you say to another girl your age who is struggling with their confidence?”:

“Hey, I completely understand feeling insecure. But listen, you're amazing and strong and capable. I remember feeling similar, but focusing on things I was good at, like modeling and giving back, really helped build my confidence. Remember, everyone's a work in progress, so don't compare yourself to others. You have the power to do amazing things, and your voice matters."
