I was born and raised in the city of New York. Growing up I had to be creative with how I used my free time as a kid because my parents were always working odd jobs just trying to make ends meet. That's where my love for art started, I would spend hours drawing anything from animals to people on paper and even making little sculptures out of clay.
After high school I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the arts but I had no idea what field to choose so I decided to take some time off and travel while working odd jobs along the way. During my travels, I started to pick up different skills such as how to use makeup, do hair, and even how to sew clothes.
The more I traveled the more confident I became in my own abilities and that's when I realized what I wanted to be: a model or an artist maybe even both! It's been 3 years now since I started modeling and it's been quite the journey so far. I've worked with some amazing photographers, designers, and stylists along the way and I'm grateful for every opportunity I get. But most of all, I'm grateful to have this platform to express myself in ways that no other job allows me to.
I've also started a small business selling art prints from my drawings and paintings on Etsy so maybe one day it'll take off! That's me, what do you want to know about me?
