What inspired you to get into the modeling industry?

I got into modeling by watching the people around me gain confidence and self love through photos. It made me recognize the beauty in uniqueness and finding your niche.

How long have you been modeling?

I haven’t modeled professionally, but I have always been interested in posing and taking photos for as long as I can remember.

As a model/aspiring model, do you think that it is important to have a large following?

It isn’t important to have a large following as a model. The only thing to worry about is making sure the right people follow you.

 These people can be those who appreciate your art and will continue to encourage you to grow.

I get it how I live it 🍋

Have you ever been published in a print or digital magazine before?

No, but it would be an amazing opportunity.

What’s something a guy can do to get your attention?
