I am a survivor, a creator, and a voice for those who often go unheard. My life has been shaped by experiences of loss, trauma, and resilience, and through those challenges, I’ve found a deep passion for empowering others. From an early age, I realized that the world needed more compassion and understanding, so I’ve dedicated myself to making whatever difference I can, whether it’s through my work as a doula, as a nanny on Fort Bragg Army base, or my involvement in community service. I believe beauty is not about fitting into boxes or conforming to someone else’s standards. It’s about owning who you are, scars and all, and embracing the uniqueness that makes you stand out. My journey has taught me the power of self-love, authenticity, and the importance of showing up as your true self in a world that often tries to dictate who you should be. At my core, I am a passionate advocate for breaking down barriers and creating spaces where everyone feels seen and valued. I’m here to represent the real, the raw, and the beautifully imperfect.

"A New Kind of Beautiful" is exactly what the modeling world needs. Since the rise of media in the form of magazines, television, and social media, there has also come a rise in social programming of what is and is not an acceptable way to be and look. It places this unrealistic and mostly unattainable aesthetic on a pedestal that many strive to achieve, seldom do, and often are left feeling inadequate. In presenting "A New Kind of Beautiful", Fashion Hero presents an opportunity for people who don't fit into these beauty standards with the opportunity to see themselves reflected in a way that is beautiful and powerful, just the way they are.

My goal in modeling is to show people that there is no beauty standard, that the one placed before us is an illusion, and that we are all beautiful. I want to challenge the belief that hairlessness is a requirement for beauty and femininity. I also want to be a voice and beacon for those who have struggled with mental illness, self-worth issues, gender and sexuality identity issues, and anyone else who has struggled because of the pressure to fit in with societal norms that have been pushed through media for ages. You are beautiful. You are worthy. "You don't have to change a thing; the world could change its heart."
