I'm a twenty-five year old UCLA undergraduate student and model living in Venice, Los Angeles. I was scouted to model when I was nineteen years old in San Diego, and began as a ring girl for MMA competitions. From there, I relocated to Los Angeles, and have been here ever since. From that time on, I have filmed in three television shows: one, with MTV, called Stranded, and two with Discovery: Naked and Afraid, and Naked and Afraid XL. Modelling-wise, I've specialized in fitness, bikini, surf, skate, and bohemian brands, yet also diversify with high-fashion, editorials, catwalk, and e-commerce in the fashion district of downtown. Day-to-day, I live an active and outdoor lifestyle. When I'm on set, I see every collaboration as an opportunity to make art that will last far beyond our lifetimes. To me, shooting is about inspiring others and capturing life being lived to the fullest. It is an honor to bring my life force to any brand that I work with, and I make it my deepest intention to bring all of my light to every campaign, that way we can impact the world powerfully for the better together.
