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

I have always been very passionate about being both in front and behind the camera from a very young age. I received my first professional camera at the age of 15 and have grown up taking pictures, making GoPro videos and constantly asking others to take a picture of me. On a daily basis, I would think ‘wow, that would be a great spot for a picture’. It then hit me, this is a passion of mine and I need to chase it. I finally started my professional modeling career and going after any opportunity I could. I would drive all over Florida for any and all open castings, even some that were only a few minutes, just to drive hours back home. I was devoted and determined to further my career. I was then scouted by my now mother agent while walking at Miami swim week and my career has flourished from there and this is just the beginning.

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

I have many forms of self care that I practice daily. Having a routine and staying productive is very important to me. If I need to destress or treat myself, I will go to the gym, get my nails done, read a book, spend time outside in nature, do my makeup, grab a coffee, longboard, go for a walk, go shopping or spend time with my friends or family. I think self care is very important and these are some of the things I enjoy most and do on a daily basis.

- What other passions do you have aside from modeling?

Another passion I have outside of modeling is definitely mental health/psychology. I’ve struggled from a young age with anxiety/depression etc. and have always been very fascinated with how the mind works ever since. I am very passionate about animals especially dogs. My dogs are my entire world. I have always had a love for photography, long boarding, painting, and reading. I am a firm believer to chase your passions. Life is too short not to do the things you love.
