Why do you want to pursue modeling? Modeling has always been a dream of mine. Even as a little girl I dreamed of being in a magazine or on a billboard. Being behind a camera is one of the most comfortable things for me and I have always enjoyed having my picture taken. Above anything else I have always seen modeling as a unique way to express myself. With every client there comes a new experience and a new person for me to portray. I cherish every experience I have had thus far and hope that there are many more to come.

What are your favorite things about the industry? My favorite things about the industry are all the amazing people I have gotten to meet. Whether it is a photographer, a make-up artist, or another model, everyone has a story and a similar goal to mine. I have been able to learn something from every person I have met and I think that is really special.

What is your modeling dream job? My modeling dream job is to become a COVERGIRL for Covergirl Cosmetics. I have always loved the Covergirl ads. Each model that has represented the brand always looks so effortlessly beautiful and fresh.

Do you have an agency? I am currently represented my Modelogic Wilhelmina in Richmond, Virginia.

Do you have a dream agency? I would have to say IMG. I admire all of their models and the things that they have accomplished in this industry.

Favorite things: My dad’s cooking, family movie night, my dog Cassie, Starbucks coffee (yum), shopping, and friends.

Favorite music, band: Queen. I grew up listening to my Dad’s CD and will always love this band the most. I know every word to every song. I can’t get enough of it!

Hobbies: Reading, cooking, movies, knitting, and spending time with the people I love.

Favorite piece of clothing: My Michael Kors heels. I absolutely love shoes and the taller they are the better. These shoes make me feel like a total giant and give me the biggest confidence boost every time I slip them on.

Favorite artist (any kind): I am an art major at James Madison University and have been learning about a lot of great artists. I would have to say my favorite would be a photographer named Dorothea Lange. I really admire her ability to capture emotion in her subjects.

Place you'd love to visit: Definitely Italy.
