How Long Have You Been Modeling? I have been modeling for about seven years.
What was your inspiration to model? my inspiration came from a variety of sources, I felt really comfortable in front of cameras my whole life. I guess it felt more like a calling. This was just something I felt I was born to do.
Tell us about a recent shoot: I was shooting with a wonderful photographer, who goes by @churkh on Instagram, he and I just always have a good time shooting. He took me up to some rooftops and we ended up shooting for about six hours. I just had plenty of outfit changes and there were really good vibes between us. I usually have a great time with everybody I shoot with honestly though.
What do you enjoy most about modeling? I really love the self-expression that I get to have with modeling. I really feel like it is a major creative and emotional outlet for me. I love that I can make other people feel something through my photos. I also love meeting new people and learning new ways to create beautiful art. I love going on adventures and I can honestly say that being a model has really allowed me to be able to see and do things I never would have had the opportunity/guts to do alone.
What is your short term goal? My short term goal is to do lovely summer shoots with a lot of new people.
What is your long term goal? My long term goal is to be able to model/act for my living. I want people to see me and I want to inspire people that just because you have had a rough past or grown up somewhere difficult, doesn't mean you can't be successful. I would also love to be chosen to compete in America's Next Top Model, but that has been a silly dream of mine since I was little. I would probably be the girl that has all of the memes made of her if I were chosen. I guess what I am really trying to say is that my long-term goal is to be truly happy and successful.
