What’s something you’re looking forward to most this summer?
My birthday trip to Costa Rica!
What inspires you and why?
Friends inspire me. Other creators/models inspire me. I even inspire myself by looking back at how far I’ve come.
What is a typical work day like for you?
I have several different types of work days!
1. Working from home on the computer – emailing brands, scheduling, editing.
2. Content days – where I create content for different brands.
3. Shoot days – Jobs booked through my agency where I’m usually shooting on location or in a studio for a brand.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I’ve always had a passion for horses, so I love to ride as often as I can. Just being at home with my cat and watching a good movie is perfection.
Are there any other careers you’d like to explore in the future?
I could definitely see myself getting into interior design. Before I ever thought about modeling, I always loved anything to do with design.
What was the most challenging aspect of developing the platform you have today?
The most challenging aspect is definitely being consistent. That’s true for anything in life. Consistency is often the hardest part, but something good often comes of it.
What advice would you give to someone who aspires to have a career like your own?
Go for it! Take inspiration from other creators and make it your own. I believe the first step is deciding what your style is, then start creating!
What are your favorite websites / stores to shop for your summer style?
WeWoreWhat has some of the best styles for summer, and Sommer Swim is my go-to for bikinis.
What was your favorite part of traveling to El Dorado Seaside Suites?
El Dorado was beautiful! But my favorite part was catching up with old friends and making new ones!
What’s one fact people would be surprised to know about you?
One thing people wouldn’t know about me is on a normal day I actually despise taking photos. Unless I’m working, you cannot get me in front of a camera.
Are you working on any projects you can share with our Modeliste readers?
Currently creating my own brand! It’s in the works – stay tuned.
What are three items in your closet you cannot live without?
My Nike sneakers, Levi’s jeans, and Talentless sweatsuit.
One thing you cannot travel without?
My face oil! I’m completely obsessed with the Organic Face Oil by Fachie. I put it on in the morning and at night, so I can never leave home without it.
Take us behind the scenes of your everyday beauty routine for the perfect glowy skin for summer:
I always start out with a good cleanser – my favorite is the OBAJI Daily Acne Treatment. Then I follow up with the Hydrating toner and Hyaluronic Acid Serum from PCA Skin. These are the best for hydration! Always add sunscreen – I use one from Supergoop. Then, I add my favorite face oil by Fachie. This is my go-to routine – leaves my skin super hydrated and glowy!
What would you like to say to your fans?
Thank you for giving me the platform to do what I love!
