Where do you feel the most stuck in your modeling career? I feel stuck finding where I fit into the modeling industry. I’ve been told by agencies, “You’re pretty, but we are not looking for your look.” I feel some agencies already have girls that look like me, so I’m also stuck with wanting to be a blank canvas for designers or just merely embodying all of myself and allowing my style/look to be the demand.
Currently, you’re obsessed with/about? Oysters and clams. I love seafood, so this is a forever thing.
