Who am I?

My definition of beauty is unique essence. Beauty to me is combining a person's personal characteristics with an appearance that represents authenticity. Beauty is so personalized, and everyone's beauty is completely different. I am an identical twin and I recognize that even me and my sister who share DNA have different beauty about us. I love when I meet someone who has a beautiful heart, mind, and soul and they also show the world that they are not afraid to rock their unique physical features. I feel that real beauty comes from not being the ideal 'perfect image' of society, but from being a unique being; and I think that that type of authenticity is inspired from real life challenges, pain, and experiences.


What do I think about The Fashion Hero TV series?

I am a Self Love and Style Coach helping to empower women inside and out. My twin sister and I founded our company to inspire women to grow their hearts, mind, and souls, and rock their own unique version of beauty. I have worked in social work for years helping men, women, and children break free from abusive relationships and learn to love themselves, and I am very passionate about breaking the cycle of abuse and violence in this world. I am getting married this year, and transitioning my life from an Indiana girl to an Arkansas girl. I am always seeking growth to be the best human and soul I can be to spread the message of loving ourselves and loving each other.


Why would I be a great role model for this generation and inspire people as the new face of The Fashion Hero?

My interests are very holistic because I'm all about gaining knowledge heart, body, mind, and soul. I'm a huge humanitarian and love everything about spreading love and kindness to other people, animals, and our planet. I love the humanities especially art and music. I am a huge book nerd and I love learning through reading. I've learned to love exercising, and hands down my favorite workouts are fun, upbeat workouts that combine cardio, dance, kickboxing, and sculpting.
