The Fashion Hero television series is an amazing opportunity, in that it does empower people and give them confidence in themselves. The Fashion Hero breaks the industry standards and provides multiple avenues for models to experience professional modeling and show their artistry. The opportunity to become a Brand Ambassador and take a positive position with the Fashion Bureau is a dream shot for anyone in the Fashion Industry. I truly believe this is the outside of the box thinking it will take to positively affect change the industry to represent real consumers. This show gives those of us that rarely get cast a chance to show the world what real inner beauty is all about. This is truly the disruption of the Fashion Industry the world needs and wants to see.

First to become a great role model you must know how be a great follower and be extremely humble. I feel that I would be a great role model and inspire people because I have had extremely great mentors and friends who have taught me how to further my career and definitely helped me define my life. I will share what I have learned from these from these amazing people who have given me the confidence and skill I have today. As the new face of the Fashion Hero my positive attitude, dedication and continuing daily hard work will define what it takes to fill that role.
