I am a writer, music and recording artist, a performer, and a model. But what I really am is a young person, like so many, pursuing my passions in a world made harder by the inevitable growing pains we all face. I am always learning along the way and sharing to inspire you to do the same. Thank you for visiting, for subscribing and becoming a Model Citizen!

Subscribe to my weekly feed (at my website) and get fresh articles on topics inspired by the subjects of my book; follow me on Twitter, and get inspirations from me and guest posts from experts to help encourage you to live a more fulfilling life. Don’t forget to share your stories in the Fan Corner or check out the latest in Goings On and My Music.

This is my first book, and the first of the Model Life Series. I wanted my blog site to be a place to help my fans and readers connect with me and allow me to connect with them, to exchange positive, candid perspective and to offer support about being the healthy, authentic person we all have the ability to become.

Choosing to live a healthy lifestyle, and to pursue your dreams is not an easy journey, but it is the most rewarding one we’ll ever take.

Not a novice to the spotlight or the weight of other people’s expectations on my shoulders, I gained early notoriety from the world of high-stakes modeling and entertainment. I knew from the very beginning however that my life and purpose in the world was greater than an image on a page. My life has meaning, and much of that meaning has to do with helping others.

I am multi-cultural, have many talents and aspirations, and take what I experienced on my season 4 win from America’s Next Top Model as gifts which helped me ultimately write this book, and inspired me to share my inner-most thoughts and wishes with you.

In the end I wrote this book for you, because I truly believe that blending all our gifts and abilities in healthy ways is where magic happens, that every day is a gift to celebrate, and that we can do anything we set our minds to if we do so intentionally and with conscious purpose.

I hope you enjoy my book, my music, and that you will share your story with me, too. I am so grateful for you!


“As long as I keep fighting every day, I know my dreams will happen. Most often, our dreams will not unfold exactly the way we expect them to, but if we keep working hard, our dreams WILL happen as long as we BELIEVE in them and in ourselves. This is called having faith, and it is a very important component of success!”-Naima Mora”
