It’s so good to have you join the FHM family. Can you please tell us a bit about yourself? Sure, I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in Bethlehem, Pennslyvania and I moved to New Jersey about 3 years ago to expand my horizons and to grow my career. I have a professional background in sales and marketing. But then I also am known for modeling,  acting, and hosting. Jack of all trades kind of thing lol.  

What’s something about you that people might be surprised to learn about? They would be surprised to learn, I can sing, I used to play the violin, and was a pretty good gymnast.  

3 things that you can’t go a day without?  Lipgloss, lotion, and gym.  

What is the biggest misconception people have about you? People think that I’m conceited/stuck up. Then when people meet me they say you are not what I thought. I always love that and say don’t judge a book by its cover. I’m very personable and outgoing.  

What’s on your bucket list of things you want to accomplish or experience? I want to travel more! So I have been making an effort to do that! I want to travel more overseas. I like to accomplish more goals when it comes to modeling and acting. I’d like to get more roles and have my own late-night/travel/ creative show. Something I’m currently working on.  

If you could choose one word to describe your journey as a model so far, what would it be, and why? Perseverance. Because I continued to grow, learn, and make a name on my own terms and by believing in myself. It’s been a crazy journey and it continues to have growth and success. The sky’s the limit. And never let anyone tell you, you can’t do it. Because you can.  

Can you share any exciting upcoming projects or collaborations you’re involved in? Sure I’m on the new season of HBO’s Sex and the City spin-off- Just like that! So that’s exciting! I also just wrapped a huge ad campaign for Graco. So that should be launching very soon. I also have some marketing and highlight collab work with some restaurants that I’m working on with Hudspot. And working on some cool events for the cafe cartel in Hoboken. So stay tuned. 

What are some of your personal favorite recipes or meals that you enjoy cooking at home? I love making ramen. That’s my new jam. So it has been fun creating my own creations. All very good. And I love making a good pasta dish. Or salmon dish. I enjoy cooking more now. 

What are some must-haves in your wardrobe right now? Good pair of jeans, sunglasses, sneakers, and going-out tops.  

What is your favorite body part on you? on him? His eyes.  

If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I’d be a Jaguar. They are exotic and fierce, and they have the strongest bite! Meow lol. 

That said, what advice would you give to all women regarding love and relationships? To know your worth. Value yourself and set boundaries. Love is beautiful but tricky. Just try to be the best version of yourself and you have to be willing to learn and grow.  

In what ways do you use your platform to inspire or influence others? I would say I inspire others to keep following their dreams and pursue any goal that they have. I influence you to try to be bold, and daring, trying new places, and new food, explore the city you’re in and travel. It’s fun to be creative and expressive.  

If you could change any one thing in the world, what would it be and why? That’s a loaded question. There are a lot of things going on in the world. The world needs some healing and peace. So I would say peace. Peace to everyone’s mind and life. I think that with more inner peace the world be different.
