Any big campaigns you aspire to be in? 

I would love to book a balenciaga campaign in the future! The looks are always so unique and innovative. 

How long have you been a model? 

I have been a model for about 2 years. 

any other kind of work that you enjoy doing aside from modeling?

I am also a RN at an Emergency Department! When I’m not in scrubs or onset I make TikTok and Youtube videos as well to document it all. 

You mentioned your freckles were a physical characteristic that you were insecure about at one point. Can you tell me, when do you feel most proud of them and when do you embrace them as a unique trait of yours?

When I was in Paris an agency told me it was my freckles that made me stand out in a room full of 100 girls and they were the reason I got the call-back. I realized then you have to really own and embrace everything that makes you unique physical and non physical traits. Realizing it is sometimes the things we are most insecure about that others may find the most beautiful is really empowering. 

You have a great flow when you’re posing for the camera. Who taught you modeling? 

I found that standing in front of a mirror and recreating poses that I see in magazines or social media is very helpful. Everyone’s body moves differently and photographs differently so taking time to figure out your own body is very helpful. 

Favorite part of our shoot? 

My favorite part was definitely chatting between looks. I feel like I made a new best friend.

If a young girl wanted you to mentor her, what would you start with? 

I would work on building trust in herself. When you trust yourself you are more confident. So focusing on doing the things you promised yourself you’d do as simple as making the bed when you wake up, to practicing walking in heels for 15 minutes that day, to doing a fun new pose on set even if it scares you.
