Q: What’s your background outside of modeling?
A: In addition to modeling, I have a strong academic and professional background. I hold a Doctor of Philosophy in Forensic Accounting and a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science. I proudly served in the United States Marine Corps and continue to protect the American people through my role in federal law enforcement. My military and law enforcement careers have instilled in me discipline, resilience, and a commitment to excellence. These experiences shape my approach to everything I do, both personally and professionally, and continue to inspire me to be the best version of myself.

Q: What is your purpose in life?
A: Growing up in challenging circumstances taught me to look inward and focus on personal growth. Without going into too much detail, a few years ago, I went through a life-and-death experience that made me feel as though I’m living on borrowed time. I questioned why I was still here — until a recent life lesson made me realize that what I was taught in childhood can be unlearned as an adult, and that familiarity does not always equate to health. Through this journey, I earned a secure attachment style, breaking free from a past filled with anxiety and self-doubt. That’s when I discovered my life’s calling: to inspire other “anxious individuals” and show them that they, too, can cultivate secure habits and mindsets. Today, I am a Certified Professional Coach specializing in helping people with attachment anxiety develop emotionally healthy habits. I’m also in the process of writing a book to share my story and insights. This work allows me to support those seeking to improve their relationships and emotional well-being.

Q: What do you do for fun?

A: When I’m not modeling or working, I enjoy a wide range of hobbies that keep me grounded and energized. I even find joy in the simplest things — like driving. I’m a bit of a gearhead! Every car I’ve ever owned has been a true stick shift, and I have no intention of ever compromising on that.

Traveling is another passion of mine. I love exploring new cultures and immersing myself in different experiences — and I wouldn’t think twice about going alone. Fitness and outdoor activities are also a huge part of my life, keeping me active and connected with nature. I grew up training as a competitive swimmer, and over the years, I’ve expanded my athletic pursuits to include ballet, pole dancing, circus arts, Pilates, yoga, ice skating, indoor bouldering, snowboarding, and nearly every water sport imaginable.

Music has always been close to my heart and continues to inspire my creativity. A little-known fact about me is that I earned the highest certification in Piano Performance from the Royal Schools of Music, London, UK, at just 14 years old. To this day, playing the piano remains one of my favorite creative outlets. I also love singing and have performed the National Anthem a cappella at countless ceremonies and events. Additionally, I play the guitar, violin, and ukulele.

(Un)surprisingly, I also enjoy being on the other side of the camera. I have a passion for capturing artistic imagery, particularly landscape and architectural photography, allowing me to see the world from yet another creative perspective.
