Ambitious, authentic, and courageous, I am a model, dancer, actress, stylist, creative director, and self-development coach from NJ with over 17 years in the entertainment industry. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from Montclair State University and the Founder of the MSU Complexions Band Dance Team, now celebrating 13 years. Throughout my career, I have walked over 200 runway shows and worked with productions including Miami Swim Week The Shows, Art Hearts Fashion, Runway 7, Fusion Fashion, Hi-Tech Moda, MGI Entertainment for brands such as DKNY, La Creme for brands such as Nordstrom, Alani Taylor, The Madonna Label, and The Fashion Week Experience. My work has also been featured in Sheen Magazine, Shuba Magazine, and Bloom Magazine, along with multiple magazine covers, commercial modeling, fit modeling, and editorial campaigns. One of the most unexpected highlights of my journey was landing the cover of my alma mater’s magazine, which resulted in 100,000+ distributed copies worldwide with billboards and transit signs all across the state. I am also the winner of International Model of the Year (IMOTY), which brought me to Paris, where I had the opportunity to meet supermodel Madam Debra Shaw at the Off-White Fashion Show (1989 IMOTY winner). People often describe me as adaptable because of my versatility, professionalism, energy, and ability to transform creatively across different looks, brands, and environments. I pride myself on bringing strong presence, positive energy, dependability, and genuine connection into every space I enter. I believe in transforming adversity into opportunity and using creativity, performance, and storytelling to inspire others while leaving a meaningful impact through my work.
