Please introduce yourself, what you do, why you do it, and what you want people to know about you.
I am a creative from Louisiana, that moved to Atlanta to further my passions in modeling and music. Upon arriving in Atlanta within a year’s time I was involved in the film industry world; starting with music videos I was able to branch into tv film and movies as well.

What qualities make you different and unique from everyone else in the industry?
What makes me so different is my ability to adapt to any situation for a creative purpose. I’m multi talented as well, through my ability to maneuver through the industry works. I can model, which is basically a precursor to acting, and I can write music.
Describe THAT moment when you realized you wanted to do what you do now. Who did you tell first? What has it been like since that moment?
Once I completed my first photo exposé, I was thrown into many runway shows from my height to my stoic looks in certain images. Since that moment I have moved more towards print modeling and feature roles in acting films. A good friend of mine Briana from back home convinced me to attend the exposé that would soon become my foundation for modeling going forward.
What has been the biggest challenge you’ve had to face and how did you overcome it?
My biggest challenge faced is nothing short of myself and comparison. I was taught compassion is the killer of all joy, and that statement stands firm. If at any time I feel inferior it is mostly likely preceded by seeing someone else’s accolade. I’m never jealous, but rather strongly encouraged to kick my game up with whatever project I’m currently working on.
