A typical day in my life includes…
balancing my double life. Starting the day off as a dental hygienist, fitness classes after work and then catching up on any modeling work. Usually, preparing myself for a shoot or an event at the end of the week. Fitness and overall being healthy is very important to me, that will always be a part of my daily routine. Overall, staying positive and ending the day with a smile on my face.
I was born…
June 27.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the sunsets!
I’m listening to:

My family…

food…ha! For those that know me, I eat every 2-3 hours.

a dancer or actress.
I’m inspired by…
many. Anyone with a motivated mindset and who truly influences one for the better. Also my parents, they are hard workers.
The one person who motivates me is…
PINK. I feel like I can re-live some of her songs. She’s a beautiful person to me.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
not a dang thing. I believe every experience I have been through in this lifetime has taught me something about myself. If I truly had to pick though, It would be to have more love in this world. Sometimes, a simple smile can change a person’s life.
The perfect day would be…
to be on the beach or outdoorsy, surrounded by the people I love without a stress in the world. Throwing our phones to the sides and focusing on only making more memories together!
My first job was…
at a pizza place and also working at Hollister in the mall, ha.
My favorite escape…

My life…
can be a rollercoaster but in the end it will all make sense. “Life’s a dance, you learn as you go”

love and put your family and the ones you love first.
Never…
“Lie, cheat or steal”.
