Who or what inspired you to become a model?
Originally it was one of my dads old friends who brought it up to me that it was something i could and should do. I never envisioned myself as a model but I gave it a shot and fell for it.
How long have you been modeling and what are your future goals
Ive been modeling for 6 years now in both New York and Boston markets. What I am working towards is establishing myself as model and household name. I wanna enjoy this industry as long as my youth allows me. People take this for granted and they also take it too seriously, I am having some fun. In the end I wanna own my own boutique. its in the works so look out for it.
What type of modeling work do you do?
The type of modeling I do right now is runway work and promotional work. I am working on booking more tear sheets and publications.
Who are your biggest influences in the industry and why?
I’ve watched Super model Jessica White while growing up.She inspired me. Some people look at her as an under dog but shes amazing. What people don’t see is that this woman works and she does it effortlessly with so much class. Shes a natural beauty. She may not be publicized as much but thats why I like her. I am not in it for the fame.
Most memorable moment that you can think of about your model career?
A memorable moment for me is finally getting some recognition of my talent by winning the Smartwater for Top Model competition. I won an all expenses paid trip to LA and received recognition in many articles in numerous news papers and magazines (The Herald and Boston globe). My mom was proud.
