Q: Tell us about your background, where are you from?
A: I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina.
Q: How did you get into modeling?
A: I never thought I’d be a model until I was scouted by Jim Jordan (CEO of White Cross Management). Modeling never seemed like a possibility, but this opportunity has landed before me and I’m grateful for it. I’m going to make a name for myself.
Q: What has been your favorite photoshoot so far?
A: I can’t pick! Every photographer and their team have been the most unique, thoughtful and most talented people I have been lucky enough to shoot with.
Q: How do you maintain your physique?
A: I maintain my physical appearance (mostly with) boxing and I’m very passionate about martial arts. Not only does it help physically but emotionally, and it is a very important aspect of my life.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My sense of style is very basic; I’ve never been the type of person to take what I wear too seriously.
Q: Who is your favorite designer?
A: I like designers that are bold like Gucci (and) more sophisticated like Louis Vuitton. I hope to shoot with them one day.
Q: What cause or charity do you most identify with?
A: I’m a big supporter of the organization RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network). They are an anti-sexual assault non-profit which is a big issue I stand up against.
Q: Which accomplishment are you most proud of?
A: An accomplishment I am most proud of is (the steps I’ve taken) in my modeling career so far. I’m proud of how I’m doing and look forward to doing a lot more.
Q: What song do you have on repeat?
A: “Them Changes” by Thundercat. I’ve been listening to it for the past two months and I’m still not sick of it.
Q: Who’s your first celebrity crush?
A: I can’t remember my first celebrity crush, but my current celebrity crushes would be Karen Fukuhara and Jenna Ortega. It would be super cool to meet them one day.
Q: Where is the most beautiful place you’ve ever been?
A: The most beautiful place I’ve been is Portofino, Italy. (Portofino) has a bunch of amazing buildings, old churches, and the food is great.
Q: Are you more of an extrovert or introvert?
A: I’m definitely more of an introvert. (However) lately I have gotten a lot better at being social.
Q: What was the last show you binge-watched?
A: The last show I binged was The Bear. My dad used to be a gourmet chef and everything in the show feels like getting to know how it was (as a chef) for my dad.
Q: What is your most embarrassing childhood memory?
A: My most embarrassing memory is in middle school; I liked this girl in my class and a bunch of my friends told me to ask her out. One day I did but all my friends were crowded around me, and she obviously said no. My friends immediately clowned on me for it. It was a learning lesson; don’t let your friends egg you on.
Q: What do you like to do in your free time?
A: In my free time I usually like to relax, go for walks or go to the beach. Alone time is important to me.
Q: Who or what do you draw inspiration from?
A: I’m inspired by all the people I have met in the industry as well as the people who have supported me into the field.
Q: What would you like you like the world to know about you?
A: I want the world to (know) me as someone who is strong, capable, resilient and would do anything for the important people in my life.
Q: What is one message you would give to people who have lost their way?
A: Meet your needs first. That doesn’t mean to only think of yourself, but you can’t take care of anything, or anyone else, if you are not taking care of yourself.
Q: What’s next for you?
A: Continuing this journey in the modeling and entertainment world. I’d also like to open a martial arts gym one day.
