Fortunately, I was signed in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic and, at the time, lived in NYC. I honestly can say modeling saved my life and has brought me places and opportunities I would dream of especially coming from such a small town. I originally went to school for fashion design and journalism with the aspirations to become a fashion editor, so I have always been in love with fashion, but modeling was brought to me, and I am very thankful to be here and work in this field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are 3 interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Before I modeled my day job was working in social forestry and I have planted 300 trees and have produced rain gardens to prevent flooding in my city. I love nature!<br \/>\n2. Another fact about me is that I am also Native American, and my family has ancestors from the Blackfoot tribe.<br \/>\n3. Lastly, another interesting fact about me is that I ran a mental health movement called I&#8217;m With You and, provided information and assisted my community to learn about mental health and mental illness!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What&#8217;s one non-physical thing you&#8217;d like to change about yourself?<\/strong><br \/>\nBeing a people pleaser.
