What has been your favorite shoot / campaign / work to date?

I would have to say my smile! I am a very high energy individual and I often hear that my smile and laugh are contagious.

When I booked my first paid gig.  Being such a small influencer I really felt as if the company believed in me and my message.

Which insecurity would shock people if they knew about it?

Not feeling pretty enough.  In the industry I work in were constantly pressured to look the part 24/7, even when we don’t feel like it.  This is also a very competitive field and sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to others.

A week in the future, because you can’t change the past.  On the downside if I were to see a week into my future and I didn’t like it then I could possibly change it.

Do you think your childhood was better or worse than other people growing up in a similar place and time?

I think my childhood was a bit of both.  I grew up poor, but my parents made sure I never knew as a child.  I was too busy being a child enjoying life to even realize the circumstances of our situation.
