Artist | Print Model

I was signed to my first talent agency based in Salt Lake City, Utah, when I was fourteen. I was selected to compete in modeling and acting at NYC’s IMTA, however we couldn’t afford to sponsor my trip then. I was heavily trained in acting and modeling. My specifications were in improv acting and print modeling, because of the fact that I am 4’11” and literally too short and petite to compete in runway. I built my portfolio from the ground up. I networked on Model Mayhem and other various online outlets. I had a few opportunities to play as an extra in movies like, High School Musical and the like. I never pursued any of them, and the reason for this is because at the end of the day, I wasn’t hungry enough for the spotlight. My passion? To be the one behind the camera; directing, coaching. I eventually gave up print modeling to pursue talent coaching and scouting. I still have a passion to teach others how to network and build upon their own portfolios.

I was born to create art. I'm not modeling just to "be sexy," or to earn x amount of followers on social media. I model to leave the world with usually some kind of powerful, meaningful statements. I'm here to express myself, individually and professionally.
