Tell us about yourself

I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky and have lived here all my life! I love the outdoors, my horses and adventure! I’m a full time strength coach and own my own lifestyle business focusing on empowering women in fitness!”

Tell us about your modeling experience. 
I have done mostly casual modeling for photographer friends and some boutiques locally throughout the years! It is all relatively new to me, but most photographers say I'm a natural in front of a camera and should pursue modeling full time! 

What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream would be to inspire others women to love themselves and help change the eyes of the fitness industry to be more inclusive! 

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
To me being your own kind of beautiful means being unapologetically the most authentic version of yourself. I've always said that outer beauty fades over time but inner beauty never does. Let your inner beauty shine through the outside of you! 

How would you describe your fashion style?
I love and thrive in a western fashion, but I also love a neutral, neat and simple approach to fashion! As a fitness coach I typically find myself aiming for a simple yet classic style.

Who or what inspires you?
There are so many women who inspire me but I would say that a couple specific "public figures" that I find inspiration in are Sydney Adams and Maggie Williams. I love Sydneys approach to life and how she carries herself with grace and as an outdoorswomen myself Maggie Williams embodies just how much a women who loves the outdoors can also dress up and be classy! Both are never afraid to be their full selves! 

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
I think as someone who is also just getting into modeling, be you! Be open to learning and don't be afraid of rejection or failure! 

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
My own life story is a intertwined crazy story that has exponentially helped me grow as an individual. I would say one of the biggest obstacles I've overcome that has really shaped me and who I am today is fighting an eating disorder. As hard as that period of my life was, it has shaped every goal and aspiration I have within my fitness career. And it's taken me as far as starting my own lifestyle brand that I dedicated to my late mother! 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?
I think that my personality really is my best quality. I love to a fault and put my everything into everything I do! I can be friends with just about anyone and have really learned to love myself from the inside out! 

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
Learn to be the best version of yourself and never stop striving to be better. By taking care of your health both physical and mental it becomes easier to fall in love with who you really are at your core and I feel like that always transfers over to how you feel about the outside of yourself!
