A little backstory about me…
I was born in Michigan but grew up in Las Vegas. At 16, I signed with a local agency and started modeling. By my senior year, I had signed with Elite in LA, and what started as a hobby quickly became much more demanding. I was flying out to LA every week and skipping school for shoots. Long story short, my school didn’t love that. So, halfway through my senior year, I decided to move to LA, finish school online, live in the Elite model apartment, and fulfill my contract with Brandy Melville. Once high school ended, I decided college wasn’t for me, and I’ve been a full-time model ever since.
Over the last 7-8 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some incredible brands like Free People, Triangl, Aerie, Good American, Gooseberry, Lululemon, Lulus, Sherri Hill, G/Fore, Forever 21, PacSun, Edikted, Aviator Nation, Billabong, Guess, Vuori, and so many more. I’ve also had the chance to travel to amazing places like Australia, Morocco, Greece, China, Spain, Puerto Rico, and more.
After years of flying regularly and hopping from shoot to shoot and hotel to hotel, I’ve learned how important it is to prioritize my health. What I put in my body and how I take care of it is one of the only things I can control in my chaotic lifestyle. That’s why I created this blog—to share everything that helps me stay healthy, feel great, and look my best, which allows me to continue doing what I love as the best version as myself.
