How discovered:
I was discovered in Marco Island, Florida while I was on vacation with one of my good friends and her family when I was 14 years old. A few months later I went to New York to meet with agencies and after meeting with New York Models, I knew they were the perfect home for me!
Favorite things:
I absolutely love yoga! I really got into it when I was about 13 years old and have been a major yogi ever since!
Favorite music, band:
I have to be honest I have a huge soft spot for Miley Cyrus! She’s such an amazing performer and I practically grew up with her watching her on Disney! I also love One Republic and The Script, I’m always in the mood for them!
Favorite movie, tv show:
She’s The Man has been my #1 movie since it came out. Proud to say I know all the lines and quote the movie quite too often! My favorite TV show of course is Breaking Bad! I have such an emotional connection with all the characters!
Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
My favorite designer is BCBG! I love their look and am proud to say all my high school prom gowns have been purchased there! I have many favorite fragrances but have to say Jimmy Choo Eau de Toilette Spray is my all-time favorite! My go-to beauty product is coconut oil! I use it for both my skin and hair!
What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
If I wasn’t modeling I would be finishing my senior year of high school in New Hampshire instead of taking classes online while I’m in New York. Im so happy I’m in New York though, pretty sure my senior year in New York makes best senior year ever!
What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
Old school dvds. The ones from 2000, 2001 time.
Favorite modeling experience so far?
Strangely I have to say getting braces for a shoot I did for i-d Magazine. It’s just pretty funny to me braces are fashion but I liked the photo. They kept me in my clothes I had recently found at the vintage store on 14th street.
What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
When I go home, I love driving my car! I can’t drive in the city so going home and driving has become such a luxury! Also seeing all my friends and going to my favorite restaurants!
Which brand would you really love to model for?
BCBG would be amazing! But I’ve also been having a recent interest for Alexander Wang!
Place you would love to visit:
I haven’t seen much of the world. But from what I have seen I have to say Lake Michigan is my favorite. I spent several years growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and can say that the lake view never gets old!
Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
SEX IN THE CITY! I’ve been told for years to watch the series but never got around to it! Now that I have, I can’t stop!
