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

Modeling has always been a dream of mine. I took a leap of faith and traveled to NYC to compete in the Miss DR USA pageant, where I was placed 1st runner-up. That experience sparked a desire to stay in the city, and I soon found myself immersed in the industry by attending a modeling and acting school. It was there that I gained valuable experience and ultimately got discovered, paving the way for my career to take off.

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

I love treating myself to spa days, massages, facials, nail appointments, and shopping because it helps me unwind, feel pampered, and recharge.

- What other passions do you have aside from modeling?

When I'm not modeling, I'm getting creative with art - I love painting and crafting! Photography is another passion of mine, and I'm also super into fitness and wellness - it's all about balance and self-expression for me!
