Did you always want to be a model? Tell us about how you were discovered.
I used to want to be a dentist like my parents, but then I got scouted by a magazine editor in Houston and moved to New York when I was 15.

Most memorable modeling experience so far?
Walking the Gucci Twinsburg show with my sister was so emotional and unforgettable.

One song you have on repeat, and why?
Let No Man Put Asunder by First Choice (dam swindle remix) because it’s super funky and joyful.

What other passions do you have aside from modeling?
I adore music, I play the guitar and piano and I am very passionate about political activism.

What is something you’ve always wanted to do/try?
A cartwheel.

What’s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
I am such a night owl, I easily stay up until 4, even 5 AM, if I’m not mindful.

What change would you like to see in the world?
I would like to see the world become a more empathetic place, to the people and the planet.
