How discovered:
I was shopping downtown with my mom and older sister and somebody came up to me and asked if I wanted to do a photo shoot! I was signed with an agency 2 weeks later.

Favorite things:
I love reading—getting lost in someone else’s life is my favorite pastime. I also love swimming and being outdoors. And of course my family, friends, and my cat!

Favorite music, band:
I really like rap and hip-hop, but really I love music that makes me happy. Lana Del Rey is my favorite solo artist.

Favorite movie, tv show:
My favorite movies are Clueless and Natural Born Killers. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is my absolute favorite show!

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
I love Calvin Klein and Alexander Wang! Classic and grungy. I don’t have a signature fragrance just yet, but I really like Marc Jacobs Daisy! I use a lot of rose water to keep my face looking refreshed because I never wear makeup.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
If I hadn’t started modeling I would probably be really involved with sports right now. I would also still love to pursue a career as a marine biologist or a comedian.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I love the game Mortal Kombat X. The little boy that I tutor recommended it. The fact that an eight year old showed it to me makes it seem like something I shouldn’t be playing, but I can’t stop!!

Favorite modeling experience so far?
My favorite modeling experience so far was when I was flown to Puerto Rico for one of my favorite brands. I had the absolute time of my life there!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
The best thing about my hometown is definitely my bed :) I’ve been thinking about this question for a long time and while there are a lot of things that I miss about my hometown, what really makes me miss it is the people. I fall in love with places by falling in love with people. Anywhere can be my home if my loved ones are nearby.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
My dream clients would definitely be Alexander Wang and Saint Laurent! I love the edginess of them of both.

Place you would love to visit:
A place that I would love to visit is Greece. My dad’s family is from there and it seems so breathtakingly beautiful in all the pictures I’ve seen!

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’m currently obsessed with making other people laugh! It’s seriously one of my favorite things to do. I’ve also kind of been obsessed with social media lately because I just made an Instagram and Twitter last month! Follow me
