1. How did you get into modeling?
I’ve always thought of myself as a model since I was a little kid, I’ve had countless photoshoots inspired by my excitement from Americas Next Top Model. When I moved to LA and had the pleasure of meeting my now dear friend Jeffery Beasley and posing for him in 2017 is was when I noticed Photgrapher’s noticing me via Instagram. After that is when I started booking paying jobs on top of many creative collaborations.
2. What are you doing when you are not modeling?
When I’m not modeling I’m usually in the gym, in the kitchen, at the beach or spending quality time with my love ones.
3. The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?
I wouldn’t say it’s spontaneous more so a long time coming but choosing to live a sober live style has definitely been a difficult journey so far. Still in my early stages, but I’m backed up by a community of support and I’m feeling extremely grateful for this choice and I’m healthier and happier than ever.
4. What’s your life motto?
My life motto actually comes from a bookmark my mom bought for me in the 6th grade. I still have this bookmark and engraved on it, is a quote by the famous poet and English novelist George Eliot whose real name is Mary Ann Evans. The quote reads “It’s never too late to be what you might have been” she used a pen name in order to be taken seriously as a writer during the Victorian era, and this quote has always inspired me to never give up, no matter what stage of life I am in or how old I am. My dreams are waiting to become my reality and it’s never too late.
5. Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance?!
I wouldn’t describe my personal style with brands really. I think I would rather describe it with seasons, Spring or Summer. I love bright, cheerful colors and I love outfits that allow my skin to feel the warmth of the sun. I’m not big on fragrances but have heard compliments on my aroma so I would say my favorite fragrance is me. 🙂
6. What genre of music best describes you?
I’m absolutely obsessed with female rap, but if I had to say what genere of music describes me the best, I’d say soul/ love songs. Spanish love songs hit me to the core, and Etta James, Sade and Amy Winehouse are among my favorite musicians of all time. Music that feeds my soul, music that allows me to feel it all, the pretty, the ugly, the fortunate, the tragic, the joy and the ache.
7. Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?
I’m originally from Aguascalientes Mexico, where every year for 3 weeks The Feria Nacional de San Marcos is held. I’ve never experienced this event as an adult just yet but I plan to. It’s 3 weeks of Mexican festivities and incredible musical acts. I’ve fantasize about seeing some of my favorite Mexican artist there. Hopefully this next year I’ll finally get to experience it as an adult.
8. Name one celebrity you’d like to get naughty with!
Since I was a kid I’ve always loved Barbie, I’m like the Mexican, queer Barbie. Ryan Gosling played the best Ken in the new Barbie movie and he has been my Ken since The Notebook so I’d love to have him over to my Barbie dream house.
9. Do you have any special Talents?
Writing and cooking. I love to write, I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. I also love to cook, I do so pretty much every day. Stay tune for my new Instagram dedicated to cooking and trying new recipes @CookingForDaddies
10. What is the most interesting thing online at the moment?
Might be an unpopular opinion but the most interesting thing online for me right now is…. Being offline.
