You were also a participant in Miss Bikini at Miami Swim Week, what was your favorite experience during that event?
Being a participant at the Miss Bikini US Miami Swim Week Show was exceptionally fun! The stage was beautiful, and the production team was outstanding. I loved being a part of this show and meeting the talented designers. The designers of this show were friendly and very professional. My favorite experience during the show was rehearsals with Dawn and Chris. They made sure we had fun and guided all the models with their walks and poses. Dawn and Chris really make us girls feel like we are a part of a family! Go Bikini Tribe!
Who or what inspired you to get started in modeling?
The first person to inspire me to get into modeling was my late Mom who passed away in 2001. I was only 9 years old and always remember that she always had an aspiration for modeling and fashion. My mom also used to sew clothes and wanted to be a designer. Another person who pushed me into achieving my modeling aspirations is my fiancé. He helped me connect with the right people to be able to participate in pageants and in swimsuit shows.

What are the beauty products you can’t live without?
The beauty products that I can’t live without are vitamin C serum, retinal, and any face oil. I also love Kiehl’s clay mask and face moisturizer.
What is your personal style?
If I were to label my personal style, it would be girly and sophisticated. I love pinks, nudes, and earthy colors when it comes to my wardrobe. I also love any shoe with a heel on it!
What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?
If I were to pick anything to do in my free time, it is spending time with my fiancé and my baby Frenchie, Harley. If I am not with the dog and fiancé. I am either volunteering, meal prepping or at the gym training for the next fashion show.
What is the most interesting place you have ever visited?
The most interesting place I have visited was Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Ocho Rios is so beautiful, and hot at the same time! The beaches are gorgeous, and the resorts are exceptional. There are plenty of activities and breathtaking places to visit in Ocho Rios, Jamaica which makes it so remarkable.
What do you hope to achieve in the future?
What I hope to achieve in the future is having my own swimwear line. I have always had a passion for swimwear and desire to eventually have my own brand. I also plan on participating in more fashion shows and pageants in the future. Lastly, I have a goal to earn a Master’s in Business Degree before I am 35.
