I became a huge fan of Miley Cyrus at 14 years old, and through the years, I&#8217;ve been noticed by her many times. I ended up working for her during quarantine for her Instagram Live show &#8216;Bright Minded&#8217; creating the schedules with edits for the program. \u00a0<br \/>\n2. I&#8217;ve never ever had a relationship. My life is going in the right way and I&#8217;m sure that I have an angel above working hard for me but never on the love side. \u00a0<br \/>\n3. I really think that if a tsunami or a zombie invasion happens I&#8217;ll survive cause I&#8217;m always thinking on the positive side of things and I live thinking that I&#8217;m super special and the main character of this craziness called the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy best friend sent me an email from a newsletter from a huge lingerie brand called Women&#8217;s Secret. At the time they were looking for people to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the brand with a big campaign with clients as their models. I&#8217;ve never bought anything from the brand but I went to the casting as it was an open call.
