I would be a musician and actress. I have always had a passion for music and acting and hope to continue these activities while modeling.

Describe yourself in 3 words:

Passionate, ambitious, creative.

If you had to plan a perfect day, what would you do?

I would wake up early and drink a coffee in a café with a good book. Afterwards, I would go on a hike and cool off by swimming. Then, I would spend the afternoon at the Texas State Fair before heading home and playing music with my friends. I would make a new recipe for dinner and go to a concert or play to end the night.

What is your favorite quote or mantra?

"So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers." -Jorge Luis Borges

Biggest hobby:

Music and acting. I love expressing myself through storytelling, whether that be through songwriting or on stage.

What is your favorite movie?

I love Whiplash and La La Land. I’m drawn to the intensity and obsessed artist trope in Whiplash. I love that La La Land explores a story about “dreamers.” Both movies are filmed and colored so beautifully. I also enjoy watching the performances in each.

What is your favorite TV series?

I really loved The Queen's Gambit. I enjoyed watching Beth’s journey and drive as her chess skills improved throughout the series. I love how the chess scenes are filmed with close ups of Anya Taylor Joy as she analyzes the match on the ceiling.
