1.How did you get into modeling?
I’ve always been an actor but have always had an eye for photography and fashion. While I built my brand on instagram certain photographers would reach out about collaborating and I said yes to alot of things. My performance and modeling go hand in hand, so what started as just a few experimental shoots turned into a full career thing.
2. What are you doing if you are not modeling?
I love to travel, obviously its been a bit difficult. I spend time in NYC as an actor and musician, so it is a constant promotion of my work and craft. Always trying to read new plays, writing original content, and listening to music.
3. The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?
When I was able to travel more freely, I’d love to do solo trips, once a year. No matter if I was single or what. Once I took a trip to Copenhagen, not really knowing much. The spontaneous adventure was amazing. Met people, explored on a bike. Ended up being such a great time and totally recommend to people to go somewhere alone if you feel safe doing it.
4. What’s your life motto?
“I am here, and I am enough”
5. Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance?!
My style Is casual and athletic. Love layering in the day, and giving a rock glam look when I’m performing. Some of my favorite clothing brands would be Zara, Scotch & Soda, TopMan. Currently wearing Paco Rabonne’s Invictus into the spring…. Fresh
6. What genre of music best describes you?
Contemporary Pop. Love a lyrically driven pop song, and always a sucker for a piano player.
7. Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?
I’m originally from Cleveland, Ohio. They have one of the best park systems in the world…truly. The Cleveland Metroparks have so much to offer. When I’m home I love to get on a bike path, a Lake Erie beach, or explore the state parks.
8. Name one celebrity you’d like to get naughty with! LOL
Shawn Mendes…and…Camila you can come too 😉
9. Do you have any special Talents?
The Piano is obviously my first special talent. Its truly given me so much in NYC and performance is what I live for.
10. What is the most interesting thing online at the moment?
Meme Culture. Like who thinks of some of things? Although I would say one of my biggest fears in life would be to become a meme. Lol.
