                                                                                                       Will modeling continue as a priority in your life?                                                                                                                                                     Modeling for me has never been first priority but I do enjoy doing it and will continue to model

                                                                    How does it feel to know that others look up to you?                                                                                                                                                                         It makes my day! I am speechless and in awe every time.. I don’t expect people to do so, all the love and respect I receive from others is voluntary and I’m appreciative!

> What advice do you have for ambitious teens on the-rise?
One day I was out shopping with my aunt and unexpectedly seen my idol. After that I was so in shock about what just happened and how it made me feel and that every one of my goals were more tangible. I kept repeating “that’s how I wanna be”. My aunt replied “Well thats not your idol, thats your competition”. From that day on my goal was to be way more than that, because its not about who did it first.. its who did it best. I constantly remind people that and also know your worth and demand what you want. We don’t settle for less.. we want it all!

 Any upcoming projects or big photoshoots we should all be on the lookout for
