My mission

At 22 years old I dropped out of Texas State University with one semester left. After walking into a Wilhelmina open call during 2016 Spring Break, my life changed forever. A few weeks later I was a signed model. I had written down “I am a Wilhelmina Model.” I believed in myself, prayed and had put in the work to build a reputable portfolio. I was fortunate to have incredible opportunities to work for popular brands- from working with Skechers, a Nike Jordans Commercial, walking a runway show and being featured in Vogue, and signing with Wilhelmina NYC. On the other hand, I had no guidance or prior experience in the modeling industry. From expectations, social behaviors, dealing with agents, castings/auditions, posing and what to expect on set etc. I was thrown out to the wolves to navigate the modeling industry with no mentorship. There were many times I struggled, and in a competitive industry I longed for guidance. I learned thru experience, trial and error and watching my peers.

I am passionate about protecting the children and understand that their foundation starts early. My “Model Etiquette” classes are intended to educated and prepare kids on the reality of the modeling industry, the self love and confidence it takes to succeed, the mindset and behaviors it will take to get there. I will teach them how they too can start their modeling career. My goal is to equip their minds with the tools and knowledge to stand strong within themselves and conquer their dreams. The modeling industry can open so many doors to discover your gifts & talents. As I am also an actor, I found that I love acting thru modeling. Your dreams are unlimited and possible. I want every child to know that. Come join me and my special guests this summer for a fun, wonderful and fulfilling learning experience.

I was born in New York and raised in Virginia Beach, in my late teenage years, I relocated to Los Angeles where my passion for beauty and artistry was shaped by the vibrant culture of entertainment industry. My journey began behind the scenes, assisting some of the industry’s most esteemed makeup artists in TV, film, and on editorial productions—honing my craft and developing a deep understanding of how beauty translates on camera.

With 14 years of experience, I’ve mastered my signature Hi-Soft Glam™—a fusion of soft natural beauty with bold statements—creating looks that feel timeless yet modern. My work spans red carpets, editorial shoots, music videos, and high-profile productions, with a strong focus on elevating artists, brands, and entrepreneurs through both beauty and creative strategy.

Beyond the brush, I am passionate about mentorship, innovation, and refining industry systems, working with brands and creatives to craft seamless, high-level beauty experiences. My expertise has led me to collaborate with IPSY, Danessa Myricks Beauty, CVS Beauty, Yahoo! Beauty, and I continue to push the boundaries of artistry and business in the beauty world today.
