I've always been a free spirit. I grew up in the city but spent most of my childhood on the beaches where I learned to surf and how to live in harmony with nature. My parents are hippies who were part of the 60s counterculture movement and they instilled in me an open-minded view of life and the importance of self-expression.

As a young woman, I felt suffocated by societal expectations of what it meant to be beautiful or desirable. So I started embracing my inner diva and developed a style that's all about being unapologetically myself. I love playing with different looks and personas – one day I'm a cute girl-next-door type, the next I'm a sultry seductress.

I got into modeling by accident when someone saw me on the beach and thought I looked like a character from a movie. Word spread quickly and before long, I was getting booked for shoots left and right! It's been an incredible journey so far – I've had the chance to work with some of my favorite photographers, designers, and even collaborated on a few music videos.
