What’s your dream in life? Tell us alllll about it!

“My dream in life is to use my voice while traveling the world making a impact in those around me, uplifting the younger generation, speaking about all life has to offer and how to take hold of your dreams and along the way. Volunteering at local communities that help with kids that are less fortunate.

During this traveling I want to collaborate with videographers/ photographers to make inspirational videos.”

Who or what makes you feel like you can accomplish anything, even your wildest dreams? 

“Who: My lord first and foremost, opening every door of opportunity and guiding me daily. My mom of course supporting me in everything being my number #1 supporter, “I don’t have a regular mom, I have a cool mom” haha! And my Coach/Personal trainer – Coach O – he’s been My coach for 7 years training me in Track & Field first and when I transitioned into modeling he became my personal trainer not just training me physically but as well mentally.

Waking up everyday at 5AM to train at 6AM for 2-3 years everyday really made me grow, and even to this day he will call me no matter where i’m at working in the world. His calls remind me of my “why” in life.”

What was the biggest lesson for you in your life so far? How did this lesson shape you into the amazing person that you are today?

“The biggest lesson I’ve learned is it’s okay to let go of people and you can’t help change someone unless they want help to be changed for the better.

You can’t stress about the things you don’t have control over you just have to sit in gratitude with what you do have control over. This has impacted me for the better because although I can’t help everyone I can start by helping myself first to be prepared for when someone does comes my way.”

If you were to pinpoint one trait or thing about yourself and amplify x1000 it to be your superhuman power, what would it be and why? 

“I’m overly friendly, I literally can walk in a room and make a “best friend” in moments, not sure if it’s because I’m so intrigued by every human and their story/journey – but I tend to ask a lot of questions and truly get to know someone and usually remember small details about them.

When I have to leave to another state for work I maintain those relationship with the special gems I come across in life.”

Let’s say, your own personal magical fairy godmother has just appeared in front of you. You have an infinite amount of wishes to create the life of your dreams. What does the life you create look like? 

:A life of anything and everything I could ever want?! Woah sounds nice, although I don’t have a fairy godmothers, I do have access to The King where I lay my dreams and desires to Him.

The life and woman I want to attain I am working on daily. That life looks like a woman who is determined, bold in her faith, and filled with the fruit of the spirits. I always have said “I don’t need to be rich” but during quarantine I’ve been doing a lot of self reflecting.

I thought to myself “Well if I was rich I could help more people and give more to those who need help.” So yeah I WANT TO HAVE a huge house where I can host others or those traveling doing ministry work and provide a safe beautiful home for them.

One of my biggest dreams is to start my company, and put my songs out in the world and perform for huge crowds….

This list can go on and on – just ask my parents, they’ll tell you since I was little I wanted to be and do everything,”

 What’s something you’ve felt or feel proud of recently?

“During this pandemic I’ve been able to write more and I can see my creative juices flowing. I got [a] team together here in Las Vegas and got to direct and short video in the desert at 6am…

Hoping when it’s released everyone understands the concept. Keep an eye out for it. ;)”

What is your favorite way to spend time with the people you love?

“Talking, playing games, being active, learning new things and of course eating good food!”

What is your “happy place”?

“My happy place is anywhere outside 6AM or 7PM seeing the sunset or sunrise – it’s so peaceful and beautiful and just reminds me everyday is a new day and a blessing.

The ocean is another one, surfing in the water, and especially running it gives me peace.

It is my time with God, talking about what I want to achieve or where He wants me to go. Where there’s no-one and nothing to distract me.”

What’s your favorite book that you’ve read or are reading? 

“One of my favorite books I’ve ever read and that truly changed my life was the “The Circle Maker” By Mark Batterson – it talks about praying to God and laying down your dreams and desires to him.

Not just praying about it once, similar [to] how a child asks their parents for a dog or whatever it is they desire they continuously ask. It has made my prayer life so much stronger.”

What’s a cause that is important to you? 

“Oh gosh, there are so many!!! I am big on mental health awareness, groups that build wells for communities that NEED clean water – water is life – and being eco friendly. We have one Earth, we better treat it right.”

What’s your favorite thing that you’ve manifested into your life so far?

This is a long story – but moving to NY, I prayed three separate prayers and put them in my prayer journal.

One was for a certain apartment and roommates, a month after I prayed for the apartment the girls called me! Telling me someone moved out and if I would like to move in… I said yes, but I needed some time to save up some money for security.

The 2nd prayer was a month later, I wrote down why I wanted to move to NY and who I wanted to train with – new personal trainer. That same day before work I prayed and proclaimed that I would train with a specific trainer and God would be my provider!

I didn’t tell any of my friends I was moving to NY. Finally when I got to work and met my best friend I pulled her aside and said “Hey i’m moving to NY, God’s going to provide everything! I am going to workout here and train with this trainer.” As I was proclaiming this…. Guess who walks around the corner from where we were standing. IT WAS THAT TRAINER!!!

I was astonished at the fact I prayed that prayer that morning and now I’m telling my best friend about him and now i’m running into him for the first time!! Like whattttt!??!?!

I hit my friend and said “LOOK” she turned her head realized who it was and said “say hi” so I did. I told him ”’I am moving to NYC and going to train with you.” Then we took a photo and exchanged contact information. That was a HUGEEEE confirmation for me.”

What makes you smile the most? 

“There are a lot of things make me smile, mostly people though, when I think about good times or my friends laughing.”

What’s something that you love about yourself? 

“My drive and determination.”

What’s one thing that most people don’t know about you? 

“I’m dyslexic, I have A.D.D. and N.O.S. – that last one is how I tend to comprehend things, it doesn’t bother me though… I’m just a tad slower than everyone else.

I was in IEP all of middle school and High school. My “disabilities” aren’t disabilities to me. They have huge impact on my life but not in a bad way.

It makes me work harder and push myself so I can attain my goals.”

How would you define yourself using only three words?

“Determined, passionate, energetic.”

What’s inspiring you in your life currently?

“Due to Covid-19 and seeing so many people sad… Going through depression it has motivated me to write again and work on my small projects. I have been putting off for so long, people NEED hope, they need something to watch and lift up their spirits.”

What’s the best advice you’ve ever recieved? 

“God doesn’t call the qualified He qualifies the called. If it is brought to you, you are ready, you are able and you may attack that goal or dream – whatever it is – with everything inside of you. Be at peace with it because no matter the outcome you are doing what you are called to do.”
