What’s your full name?

How old are you?

Where are you from? 
Long Island, I moved from Elmont to Massapequa in 6th grade.

Do you like Long Island?
I like Long Island, its alright if you hang out with the right crowd of people. Im mostly in Queens or Manhattan.  I am an adventurous person . I love meeting new people and trying new things/ experiences.

I love the city, do you like to travel?
I love to travel! Like I said before I’m all about new experiences.
 
Any place you’d love to gravel back to?
If i can, I’ll go back to Barcelona, Spain. it was so beautiful and laid back there.

I was in the airport for a couple hrs and I got the same vibe, any place you’d like to travel before you die?
Before i die i want to go to Bora Bora. The pictures look so nice and it looks like a great getaway from everyone and everything. Complete relaxation.

Sound like the best place to disappear. any favorite foods? 
Well I like everything except seafood but in an ironic way i Love sushi. I wouldn’t say its my favorite thought. I don’t really have a favorite food.

I agree, sushi its good to an extreme. are you in school? Where ? and whats your major? 
I will be studying Biology/ PreMed at Hatford University.

Sounds like fun, good luck. So Why modeling?
I chose to model because as a child I would see these beautiful girls in magazines, on TV or online wearing cool clothes and I would just always think how fun it must be. Getting dressed up, your hair and make up done just for someone to take photos of you. I love fashion and I believe modeling helps express not only your beauty but your mood and sense of style.

Any influences in your life? 
My mother is my motivation. She is a strong woman who handles what needs to be done no matter the circumstance. she always makes sure her kids and family are living well.

Where do you see your self in 5 years?
I see my self graduating college with some more experience with the fashion world as well as on the road to medical school. 

Fashion and medicine are a good mix. to wrap this up, describe your self in one word.
One word - Humble.
