What made you decide to become a
plus size model?
My sister is a make-up artist and she works in that field.
She pushed me into modeling for a photoshoot. Back
then, I was more “behind” the camera as I always loved
photography. My sister convinced me to switch to modeling
and I can’t thank her enough for it, as it became a passion
and I truly love what I do now.
Who do you look to for curvy inspiration?

She always encouraged me to be confident in my curves.
My favorite quote:
Even as she gets older, she still is up-to-date with fashion.
“Life is a surprise, so take in
the best moments, and spit
out the bad!”
My mother is beautiful!
