How were you discovered?

I have always had a love for everything to do with performance, modeling, and just being in front of cameras. I have been a dancer since I was three years old and I've done multiple summer intensives at places like Milwaukee and Joffrey Ballet. My first modeling experience was a benefit for a local children's hospital that was for American Girl, and it was then, I fell in love with modeling and being on stage. Over the years many people have encouraged me to model including my teachers, and one of my dance choreographers that was a former Rockette. So, when Bravo reached out I was very excited to get started with them!



What were you doing prior to modeling?

Dance has always been a positive influence in my life. When I was younger I also tried things out like gymnastics and horseback riding, but dance has always been my favorite. I have also always had a love for fashion and performance, and because of my tall slim figure I felt like modeling is the perfect thing for me, along with things like theater with singing and dancing. So, I really wanted to get into modeling and put my talents to good use. I am so excited to continue my journey with Bravo and see where I go in this industry.



People would be surprised to know?

When people see me they see this bubbly, smiley, tall girl, but what they don't know is that I LOVE food (especially cheeseburgers)! One time I ate a one pound burger in five minutes at the Drake hotel in Chicago!



What is your latest obsession?

Lately I have developed an obsession for scrapbooking. I love how scrapbooking allows me to take so many memories and put them into a book to look back at them later. I also find it so fun to create the pages and experiment with different materials and designs. I also got a photo printer for Christmas where I can print out little photos from my phone and stick them in my scrapbook. I love being creative!



What is your most prize possession?

The thing that matters most to me is my family, but they are not really a possession so I would have to say my most prized possession is my stuffed teddy bear from my grandma. I have this teddy bear named Teddy that I have had for so long now. When I was younger I slept with him every night (and maybe still do) and he was always there to make me feel safe. Also, since he was from my grandma it makes him even more special to me.



Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?

My heroes growing up were my parents, they are always there for me and take such good care of me. First, the reason why my mom is my hero is because she always has such good advice and pep talks for when I am feeling upset, and she always boosts my mood and tells me to be myself. She has always put my needs before hers and always makes sure that I have everything I need. She always supports me through everything I do and gets me involved in many things. I love her so much and she is one of my heroes. My other hero is my dad, he is my hero because he's always taking care of me and always makes me smile. He is there to take me to school and dance, and always makes sure I get to where I need to be on time. He's there to cheer me up and tell his funny dad jokes that he always tells. I also love how patient he is with me, I sometimes get upset or angry but he always stays calm and makes sure to not make me more upset than I already am. I love him so much for all he does and he is the most amazing dad. Overall, I love my parents so much and I am so happy to have them in my life. I want to thank them for what they do for me and I'm so grateful to have them.



When was the last time you said “I Love You” to someone?

I tell people I love them all the time, and I always say it to my parents after I get off the phone with them. Also, when I say goodnight to them or if they are dropping me off somewhere. I always say “goodnight I love you” or “bye, I love you.” The reason why I do this is because I love my parents, but also, if something bad ever happens to me or to them, I just want them to know that I do love them. I also tell my best friends I love them all the time too, because I truly do. I have two amazing best friends that I have been friends with for so long now. One of my best friends I have been friends with since we were two years old, and my other best friend I have been friends with since we were in 3rd grade. I love them so much and I always make sure that they know that, and that I am so happy to have them in my life.



List 3 adjectives that best describe you?

The three adjectives that best describe me are outgoing, kind, and funny. I would say I am very outgoing because I am not afraid to introduce myself to people and show my personality. I am also very kind to people. I love to do nice gestures for people and give people compliments. I also would say I'm very funny. I have a great sense of humor and a lot of my friends and family love to laugh at my jokes



Describe your personal style...

When someone says personal style, I first think of clothes and style in that way. I would say my personal style would be trendy chic. I love to follow some trends and others not so much. But, I also love to wear things that make me look very put together and just sometimes wear things that are not necessarily trendy but that I think are cute. My personal style in lifestyle I would say productive and busy. I love being busy and always having something to do, and I feel like if I didn't have anything going on or anything to do I would always be bored and there's no fun in that. I also love to be productive, sometimes I just have the sudden urge to get all my work done even when it's not due for a long time or just clean my room or organize my closet. But, I'm also very productive in a way that I make sure I prioritize my work and get it done before I do anything else.



Your favorite place you have traveled to?

My favorite place I've traveled to is definitely New York. I am definitely a city girl and I just love how busy and bright it is, especially at night. I also love how calm it can be, Central Park in particular. I find Central Park so pretty and I love it when it snows. Also, a huge reason why I love New York is how many opportunities it has to offer. There are always so many things going on there and everywhere you look there is a new opportunity to explore or just a new experience. In addition, the food in New York is to die for! I love this one restaurant named Stardust where the employees are training to be on Broadway and they give performances while you eat. They are all super talented! I love New York so much and I've always dreamed of living there one day.



Your favorite film?

My favorite film would have to be Legally Blonde. My favorite character is Elle Woods because I love how she is always herself even though people may judge her and not approve of her style. She always stays true to herself. I also love all the fashion that is in the movie and all the amazing outfits that Elle wears in law school. I also love how Elle overcomes her struggles in the movie and doesn't give up on what she believes in. A big factor in the movie is her sisterhood with her friends and always staying true to her friends. Even when Elle knows a secret from Brooke that her team of lawyers needs to win the trial, she doesn't tell anyone the secret, even though it could get her fired. She stays true to her promise and does not betray Brooke. I love the film Legally Blonde because of the character Elle and how she stays true to herself and her friends along with always looking so stylish and amazing.



Your favorite sport or sports figure?

My favorite sport is dance, which some people may not consider a sport but I do. I have been a dancer for so long and it's a lot of hard work. I have dance almost everyday for many hours a day. I do things like competition and performances, and I even take extra training in the summer when I do summer intensives at places like Milwaukee Ballet and Joffrey Ballet. I do so many styles of dance such as ballet/pointe, tap, lyrical/contemporary, jazz, hiphop, modern, musical theater, and I’ve also done African style dance at Joffrey Ballet summer intensive. I do love dancing so much, but I'm really excited to model and use my talents in singing and dancing for jobs as well.



If there’s a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your town what would you recommend?

I live in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, which is a smaller city a little north of Milwaukee. My city has a super cute downtown area with all these little small business shops. If you ever come to Cedarburg I highly recommend going to Amy’s Candy. Amy’s candy has such amazing carmel apples and fudge! I also love their chocolate covered pretzels as well. I also recommend just taking a walk in the downtown area and going into all the little shops. It is really fun and you may find some cute stuff. Also, my favorite breakfast/brunch restaurant downtown is PJ Pipers.



Your favorite song/artist?

My current favorite singer has to be Rihanna. I recently have been really loving to listen to her songs because they get me in such a good mood and I love how upbeat and confidence boosting they are. My favorite song from her is either Breaking Dishes or S&M, so if you haven't given those a listen, I highly recommend it. I am so excited to see Rihanna perform at the Superbowl coming up, and I can't wait to see what songs she sings and how amazing she is going to perform. It would be a dream if one day I get to go to a concert of hers. I would be singing my heart out the entire time!



What is your wish for 2024?

My wish for 2023 is to be successful with modeling and pursue my dreams. I would also love to get into performing arts that involve singing and dancing as well. It's always been my goal to be a performer and model. I feel like that is what I was born to do and I can't wait to see what the

future holds for me.

I am so excited to continue with Bravo and see where they take me!
