Congratulations on your feature! How do you feel? Thank you so much! It’s such an honor to be featured. I feel incredibly grateful and proud not just for the recognition, but for the journey that got me here. Every step, every challenge, and every win has shaped me, and I’m excited to share that story. 

What is your best physical feature? I’d say my best physical feature is my abs it’s where I’ve seen the most definition through training. But more importantly, I love it because it reflects strength and resilience, qualities I try to embody in everything I do. 

What’s one thing people would be surprised to learn about you? People are always surprised to find out that I work full-time outside of fitness and modeling. It’s a lot to juggle, but I thrive on structure and purpose. I believe that passion and discipline can coexist in any lifestyle. 

Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? In 10 years, I see myself running my own wellness brand something that blends fitness, mindset, and lifestyle coaching. I want to empower women globally to step into their strengths and rewrite their stories. 

Outside of modeling, what are some of your passions or projects you’re currently working on? I’m currently coaching clients 1-on-1, helping them build sustainable fitness routines and confidence from the inside out. 

Who inspires you the most, either in modeling or in life in general? My parents are my biggest inspiration. They taught me what it means to be strong, graceful, and relentless. In this industry, I really admire women who are real and built platforms beyond beauty those who use their voice to lift others up. 

What message do you hope to send to women who see your feature? I hope they see that strength is beautiful and that confidence is built not born. You don’t have to fit a mold to be successful or feel empowered. Own your journey, your body, and your story. 

How do you define confidence and sensuality in your own terms? Confidence, to me, is showing up for yourself consistently, especially on the hard days. Sensuality is about being fully present in your body and embracing your femininity without shame. Both are deeply personal and evolve over time. 

What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since entering the modeling industry? The biggest lesson? Comparison is the thief of joy. There’s room for everyone at the table, and your uniqueness is your superpower. Stay grounded in who you are and never compromise your values. 

Do you like taking vacations? Where is your favorite place you have been and where would you like to visit next? I love traveling! My favorite place so far has been Saint Lucia the energy, the nature, and the people were just amazing. Next on my list is Italy and Greece. I’ve been dreaming of both for a while now. 

Besides modeling, what keeps you busy? I always stay busy, and ask anyone who knows me. I am always working on myself by getting to the gym every day, which currently I am in prep to go defend my World Title this August. But coaching clients keep me busy as well. I also dedicate time to content creation, continued education in fitness and nutrition, and just spending time with my family. Balance is key. 

If you were stranded on a deserted island with only one accessory, what would it be? Hmmm, I’m going to say a bikini. I’d say phone to call for help but maybe I’ll just stay stranded for a bit and get a tan haha. 

What’s next for you any goals, projects, or dreams you’re excited about? As I stated, I am currently in prep so I am excited to compete this August but in addition to that, I am currently working on growing my fitness coaching. It’s something I’ve worked hard on and enjoy helping others reach their goals. 

What advice would you give to aspiring models? Stay true to who you are. The industry can be tough, but authenticity will always be unmatched. Keep showing up, keep learning, and surround yourself with people who lift you higher.
