1. How did you get into modeling?
When I was a junior in high school I got scouted by an agent from New York Model Management. He saw me on Instagram and direct messaged me. At first I did not believe it. I never wished to model but people would often comment on how I should start. My family and friends told me it was fake. I did some research found out the agent and management was legit. A few weeks later I met with the agent in Sacramento and got signed!
2. What are you doing if you are not modeling?
I don’t like sitting still for too long. I like being productive every single day. I am either making crazy fun memories with my friends and family, practicing MMA, playing sports, dancing with music, trying new things, Lifting weights, or reading/learning about new things I am interested in!
