Are you in school? Currently no, but I definitely plan on attending college.
How did you get into modeling? A scout gave me his card at a music festival years ago.
First modeling job? I was featured in an online exclusive for Vanity Teen magazine back in December of 2020.
Favorite part of being a model? I really enjoy meeting new people through modeling and hearing interesting stories or experiences.
Worse part of being a model? Probably how unpredictable it is. Sometimes you can be very busy, and sometimes have absolutely nothing going on.
Do you do runway? I haven’t done runway yet but hopefully in the future.
Favorite photographer? I really like Damon Baker’s work. He has a very dark, grungy aesthetic throughout his shots that is really unique.
Favorite model? Jordan Barrett is my favorite model. He has a really great sense of style and a really cool persona.
Favorite designer/label? I like a lot of labels, but I’d probably say my favorite is Aimé Leon Dore. They make a lot of really interesting pieces.
Dream campaign? My dream campaign would probably be for Yves Saint Laurent. I love the simplicity of their campaigns and how well they use lights and darks.
Describe your style/look? I’d say my style varies a lot from day to day. Some days I may have a very preppy style, and others I may wear more casual, vintage, or street pieces. It all really depends on how I’m feeling.
Favorite musician/band? My favorite musician is Dave, a British rapper.
Favorite song of the moment? “The Business” by Tiesto is definitely my favorite song right now.
Interests besides modeling? I want to get into acting, and I also play golf and squash.
What’s next for you? Hopefully more modeling work, and maybe even some acting down the line. I look forward to attending school, and hopefully starting a business in the future as well.
