How would you describe your style of modeling?

I would describe my style of modeling as Alternative with a modern pinup twist. Lots of colored wigs, corsets, and high-waisted acid wash jeans.

When did you know that modeling would be an important part of your life?

I always wanted to model since I was little girl but I first realized how important it was to me in 9th grade when I modeled for my friends college photography class project. I had so much fun dressing up and posing I realized it was what I wanted to do with my life for a career.

What are some of your goals for being a model?

I have a few different goals for my modeling career. First being that I want to be able to help and give advice to other girls who have been bullied and told that they will never make it in the modeling world. I also would love to do a lot more traveling shoots whether it be in the U.S. or other countries and get to meet some of the other alt models I have looked up to all these years and getting to do all the exciting things they get to do. Lastly one of my biggest dreams is to be able to shoot with various exotic animals, I have always been such a big animal lover and I'd love to bring that out in my pictures!

Do you have a favorite photographer you love to work with?
