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

Actually before becoming a model I have lived many different lives. I was an English teacher in Spain, worked as a volunteer for refugee organizations in Berlin, an EMT in NYC and even a fashion design student at Parsons! I am a firm believer of the ability to restart and discover your passions through actually trying different things! I only decided to pursue modeling after I had friends tell me I should try it out after the pandemic. I never imagined that I could become a model, especially since I am not tall.

I always loved creating content on Instagram and both my agencies reached out to me from Instagram. When they reached out, I had been modeling for about 1.5 years as a freelance model.

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

My favorite forms of self-care are getting pampered. I love going to get massages, facials, and getting my nails done. Taking care of myself, and treating myself to pampering services always lift my mood. I also like to take care of my mental health and spirituality by journaling, going for runs/walks, and being in nature.

- What other passions do you have aside from modeling?

I love creating content and editing especially. I have so much fun editing my videos and coming up with creative ideas. I also really love to travel and learn languages. I speak Spanish, French, some German, some Japanese and recently learned some Brazilian Portuguese for my Brazil trip earlier this year.
