What is your favorite part about being a woman?
“My favourite part about being a woman is being able to express my femininity; I like enticing the opposite sex (in a positive manner). As well I enjoy pampering myself .. I’m a total girly girl ! I enjoy the little things like doing my nails , getting my makeup done and wearing cute outfits that show my womanly figure. It gives me a lot of positive energy to continue on in the industry.”
Who is your favorite role model?

What is your dream in life?
“My dream in life is to walk for a designer in Milan or Paris. As well… I want to aspire other people in the industry and mentor them to achieve their goals [and] dreams.”
When you’re feeling down, what do you like to do to bring yourself back into good spirits?
“I listen to music and create art. I enjoy painting and dancing along to 70’s [and] 80s music.”
What makes your soul light up?
“My passion is creating art within my images. I love posing and expressing myself, this makes my soul and heart light up.”
What is your favorite outfit to wear at the moment?
“My favourite outfit to wear at the moment has to be anything including leather (faux though). I love adding in that piece of fabric as I think it fits my image and brings in the entire ‘look’.”
What is your “happy place”?

What’s your favorite thing that you’ve manifested into your life so far?
“That’s a tricky question … My favourite thing I’ve manifested into my life so far has to be related to my professions. I graduated college and feel like that was a wish that came through being that I was struggling during my college times. I’m happy I successfully completed it and am continuing my education further on.”
If you had the chance to talk to your younger self, what would you tell them?
“You are beautiful and you will do great things. Don’t trust people so quickly and be wise with your choices, everything you consume (mentally and physically) will impact you and you need to be aware of your surroundings.
Not all people have the best intentions for you… that’s why you must stay grounded and put your foot down when necessary. You are strong.”

I want peace and love and to be remembered as a confident [and] determined figure.
Remember me as the girl who isn’t afraid of doing what she truly loves in life!”
