I have never paid for a test shoot since I started modeling. I good lucky and met some incredible photographers that saw my potential and wanted to work with me. What do you think you as a person should focus on less? If I’m focused on something then it must be important, so everything I’m focusing on doesn’t need to be any less if anything probably more!!!

Came to New York about 4 years ago.  What is Art to you?  Art is Me, my life, my passion, my love!!!  Did there ever come at time where you felt you couldn’t do this full time?  No being an artist is what I have always wanted to do and bring modeling into the equation is just another window for creativity. I enjoy creating so I could definitely do this full time!!!  Who inspired you to become a model?  I have always watched Victoria Secret fashion show and America’s Next Top Model and I always thought to myself “I could do that” and I did!!! As long as you believe in yourself nothing can stop you. Look at me now, I’m living my dreams! Living in New York as a model and an Artist!!!! Did you ever think of giving up on modeling?  Not so much as giving up rather moving on to my #1 passion, which is art. And that’s exactly what I’m doing.
