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

I was a professional NBA and NFL cheerleader, and through that, I started getting opportunities in front of the camera. What started as dance and performance slowly transitioned into lifestyle, fitness, and beauty shoots. Eventually, brands started reaching out, and I realized how much I loved being part of a creative vision. It felt natural, and I haven’t looked back since! I love to create and now I love to model.

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

One of my favorite forms of self-care is skincare. It’s not just about looking good . It’s about feeling good too. I love how taking time to care for my skin helps me slow down, reset, and feel more confident. Whether it’s a quick morning routine or a relaxing nighttime ritual with masks and serums, it’s my way of showing up for myself.

- What other passions do you have aside from modeling?

Outside of modeling, I’m deeply passionate about wellness, travel, and entrepreneurship. Exploring new places and cultures constantly fuels my creativity and inspires my work. I also have a love for performing especially dance and I’m always drawn to activities that keep me active, expressive, and connected to others.
