What have been some job highlights?
I started modeling as a kid but then took my teens off. The experience allows me to be all different people and styles at once. Some key highlights have been working for Miami Swim Week as well as some high-end jewelry clients. It allows me to bring designers’ passions and visions to life.

My most prized possession is my first pony, Snapps. I got him when I was 10 years old.
