How did the opportunity to work with ALO Yoga come about, and what does yoga mean to you personally?
ALO came to me in a random time of life when I was currently living In Florida. Before I knew it I was shooting in Death Valley with the whole alo team. Yoga taught me how to be present, be one with my breath in times of anxiety and flexible with my body vs stagnant.

If you would have told me In 2019 that I would have been the cover of multiple magazines I wouldn’t have believed it. But to be able to have waked into Multiple book stores and see my face shows me that I belong somewhere here.

To shoot with an a lister like Christiana Aguilera in the first month of my modeling career humbled me. Being 20 and having that much spotlight that early in my career gave me a great outlook In what’s to come.

Arriving In Miami for an early morning shoot is always fun but to be onset with the worlds number one super model gave me some sort of unexpected confidence and seeing her energy onset filled the atmosphere with the form of grace that only Giselle can bring.
