“Before I started my modeling career, I had a dream. A dream that every little girl possessed, to be a supermodel and to walk the runway. When I was younger, shows like ‘America’s Next Top Model’ intrigued me and planted a seed inside me that would one day bloom into my modeling career. Fashion, glamour, and couture always seemed unattainable to me. Figuring out how to get my foot in the door of the fashion industry was the hardest part.”

“I luckily got discovered and signed to my now mother agency Genetics. Genetics helped guide me, transform my image, and enhance my career. My portfolio started to grow, as well as new interest from others recognizing my modeling.”

“After countless hours of shooting and working towards my dream, I got the opportunity to meet with my now New York City agency ‘Fenton Models’. The next chapter of my modeling journey began at Fenton. I started going to castings and go-see’s. I had to learn about rejection. Rejection is the hardest part of the industry.”

“After countless rejections, I booked my dream job, walking in New York Fashion Week. Being able to walk for such a coveted event as NYFW helped solidify my spot as a model in the fashion industry. Since NYFW, I have worked with amazing clients and have been signed internationally.”

I am now signed with Model Zone in Mexico, and my dream agency Boom in Milan. I am so proud of where my dreams are taking me, and why it is so important to never stop dreaming.”
