- Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.

Growing up, I never really knew what I wanted to be. After moving to California for school, I was unexpectedly approached by a few reputable modeling agencies. That experience introduced me to an industry I had never imagined myself in, and I decided to take a chance on it. Since then, modeling has shaped me into the person I am today. I’ve had the opportunity to walk in New York Fashion Week, work on commercial campaigns, and continue growing with every experience. What started as an unexpected opportunity has become a genuine passion, and my goal is to keep pushing boundaries as an androgynous model while building an international career.

- What are your favorite forms of self care and why?

I would say going to the gym and my skincare. I've always had a skincare routine growing up, and it helped me feel comfortable in my skin. Going to the gym allows me to work on myself and see progress.

- What other passions do you have aside from modeling?

Outside of modeling, I’ve always been passionate about art. I’ve been drawing since I was a kid, and it’s one of my favorite creative outlets. Music is also a big part of my daily life, it’s something I listen to every day and it has become a part of my routine. Lately, I’ve been teaching myself guitar, which has been both challenging and rewarding. I enjoy constantly learning new creative skills and finding different ways to express myself.
