Do you model?

I do not technically model, but one amazing thing about this generation is if you have your phone and some friends, any day you can be just that! 

Of course it would be amazing to be a model, and the industry for plus size models is growing!

As a model/aspiring model, do you think that it is important to have a large following?

Of course a large following would help, but some qualities that will help you in the long run would be personality and a good message! 

If I were ever to get into the modeling industry I would make sure to use my platform for much more than just taking pictures.

Are you following your dream?

I am on the path to following my dream, I am a college soccer play and majoring in Health and Wellness, after graduation next year I plan to get my Masters. 

I plan to continue my love for soccer by coaching and hopefully I can build my platform and help build a business out of it!

Have you ever been published in a print or digital magazine before?

I have not.

What projects are you currently working on?

I don’t really have any projects I’m currently working on, just trying to get good grades and finish the semester strong and be motivated this summer to be healthy and happy!

What’s something a guy can do to get your attention?

Someone who has goals and is motivated is always a good look.

What’s an instant deal-breaker for you?

Someone who is way too into themselves.

What is your ideal first date?

A date doesn’t always have to cost money we could go to the park, adventure the city…

But if I’m being honest, a sky zone date would be pretty cool!!

Definitely not in Kansas anymore and don't plan on coming back 🌴

Tell us a random fact about yourself.

I’ve never been on an airplane.

What are you most proud of?

I’m pretty proud of the person I am becoming.

A lot of self reflection has happened over the past couple years, and I feel I’m on a good path to be successful in all aspects of life!

What type of style would you say fits you best or that you wear the most? 

I’d say I have two sides to my style, I can be super sporty or get real dressed up. 

Of course I’ve gotta say my my sporty side is my favorite, I’m able to express my style a little more and also show off my obsession with sneakers.

Did you have any mentors who greatly impacted your career or growth?

I’ve had a lot of important people come into my life from coaches to teachers, but I’ve gotta say my family is what motivates me everyday and always tells me how proud they are of where I am at in life!

Do you have any tips for girls who are trying to live out their dreams?

Don’t set any limits for yourself! If you set your mind to it you can do anything. 

Self love is important, work on who you are and everything will fall into place after that.

What do you want to be remembered as?

I want to be remember as a caring and kind person, someone who is fun to be around and brings people together while making amazing memories and having a positive impact on peoples lives.
