I am a New Yorker, born and raised in Jamaica, Queens. Both of my parents immigrated from Brazil, and I speak Portuguese and a little Italian. Being from NYC, I began modeling at the young age of 17 and haven't stopped since. I am not only a performer but also work behind the camera.
In addition to modeling, I am director and producer. I own 1221 Productions, where I primarily focus on fashion and commercial projects. I also co-own of a small business called Loupe Studios, a photo/video studio based out of Bushwick.
After five years with We Speak Models, I decided to freelance as a model without representation to explore a different side of the industry. I aspire to become a mother agent one day, and what better way to start than by representing myself? I'm open to signing again when the right agent or agency comes along.
I am excited to collaborate on new projects and explore diverse opportunities. My work takes me to various locations, including NYC, LA, and Italy.
One of the most memorable experiences I've had as a model was opening the Coach show on my skateboard. I have always loved skating, and merging the worlds of modeling and skating was a dream come true for the 12-year-old me.
