I am a Massachusetts native, born and raised In Pepperell MA, and now living in Worcester with my boyfriend and two lovely guinea pigs (Finn and Munch). I earned my B.A. in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from UMass Amherst. In addition to modeling, I recently started my own handcrafted leather goods business. The intersection of entrepreneurship, fashion, and female empowerment is the true center of my passion and motivation.

My mom’s friend needed a portrait model in New York City and we made a fun trip out of it. That was my very first modeling experience, but I didn't get into it more actively until a couple years later when friend recommended doing tests shoots with local photographers. I eventually signed with Maggie Inc in Boston and have been enjoying the process ever since.

Classic cuts and functional pieces are my go to choices. I love clothing that feels effortless to style, is easy to move in, and can take a good amount of wear and tear without falling apart. When it comes to accessorizing I love wearing big statement pieces. I make a lot of my own accessories, so I’ll experiment with funky earrings and leather cuffs to diversify my looks.

I love the concept of a capsule wardrobe. Especially since starting my own small business I have a renewed appreciation for slow fashion and handmade items. Whenever I buy a piece of clothing that was thrifted by a friend or handmade in the area, it feels extra special.I like to build my closet piece by piece that suits my needs without breaking the bank or needing a second closet!

When I come home from work and get to hang with my boyfriend and guinea pigs :)

Yes! There are so many! The Ponte Pants are seriously amazing. I feel like I’m wearing leggings, but they look so elevated and professional. The Everyday Sweater and The All Day Pant and Tank are also some of my favorites.

I was always the tall kid in class growing up. As I hit puberty and my early teens, I started developing my “look” and sense of style. Family and friends always suggested I pursue modeling - but I didn’t have the confidence. So, I registered for a modeling training course to help break me out of my shy shell and into the world of modeling. To my surprise, I advanced quickly and did very well with runway modeling and commercial acting. Upon completing the course, I was finishing up my senior year of high school - so I went on to college and did some small modeling gigs here and there. I eventually decided to pursue agency representation, and took a train to New York City, walking into some of the best agencies in the country with my portfolio! (Talk about coming out of my shell!) I ended up signing with my current agency, and 10 years later, am still successfully modeling in New York and other major cities in the country.

When I’m working, I usually grab what’s comfy and go. I’m a leggings and tank sort of girl. I travel a lot, so I make sure to pack layers for when I’m in nap-mode - but always try to remain styled and accessorized. Honestly, as a fit model I am taking off my clothes at every client, so I make sure to wear outfits that are easy to manipulate in and out of. My closet is mostly black (a New York staple!), but when I’m on vacation or lounging at home with my fiancé, I love to wear vibrant colors, blue jeans, or comfy sweaters. I do believe accessorizing is a huge part of developing one’s own personal style. You can dress up or dress down any outfit with accessories or shoes - especially essential pieces, like the ones created by Brass! So I keep my closet packed with clothes, but also with scarves, handbags, shoes, stockings, belts, jewelry, and other fun bobbles!

Keeping active is a big one. It is so important to live an active lifestyle - both physically and mentally. I enjoy working out, staying social with friends and family, and wedding planning! Keeping myself busy actually helps to alleviate stress! I love to keep a planner and check things off my list daily.

Just in the past few years, we have seen a much more diverse community of models gracing the pages of major magazines, campaigns, and in the media. No longer is there a “look” a model has to possess - no cookie cutter image. It’s really about what that model can bring to the table, how influential she can be to the consumer, and how she exudes confidence in her size. I am happy to see models larger than a size 14 representing the plus size population, as well as different ethnicities, body types, and backgrounds. Models are finally showing what the “real” woman looks like - as the average American woman wears a size 14 or larger - and how they can define beauty just as well as anyone else!

I used to work in the beauty industry for many years in between (and in addition to) modeling full time. Over the years I have developed a strong interest and appreciation for skin care. I feel my best when my skin is radiant, my makeup is on point, and I’m wearing one of my many Ralph Lauren dresses. I think beauty shines from within, so when you are glowing with confidence, your happiness is showing through!

There are so many Brass pieces I would love to have in my wardrobe! I think The Essential Dress is impeccable - beautifully designed, comfortable, flattering, and a look that can be dressed up or dressed down. I also love The All-Day Pant and Tank that can be worn together tucked in to look like a jumpsuit, or separately and paired with other great Brass separates options. There are so many classic pieces that every girl needs in her wardrobe!
