Where are you from? Born in the Sonoran Desert of Tucson, AZ, now based in Brooklyn, NY.

Do you align with your astrological sign and what is it?  Scorpio sun. I didn't always get it, but now I really value how deeply I feel -- and yeah, the mystery/secrecy checks out too.

What inspired you to start modeling? I never really saw myself as a model—I didn't grow up thinking there was space outside of being a 00 or plus. I moved to NYC for acting, got signed after the pandemic, and fell in love with the world-building of it all. I like being a blank canvas on set. I still go back to my Tumblr for references— technicolor movie stills, Golden Age Hollywood, Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. Let me be your gaussian girl.

What item in your closet makes you feel the most confident when you wear it? I adore my Sandy Liang bow trench, I feel magical in it.


What is your dream brand to work for? Dream brand? if we are dreaming big it has to be Willy Chaverria.

Who is your role model in the fashion industry? Paloma Elsesser, Jill Kortleve & Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. (i'm sorry i can't pick just one!)


Who would you like to be a role model to? I'd love to be a role model for my little cousins. I come from a big Mexican family led by generations of strong women, and hearing that my younger cousins back home ask to see photos from my campaigns or shoots honestly makes my heart flutter. It means everything to know they see themselves in me. I want young Mexican girls and boys to feel represented-on screens, in magazines at the grocery store checkout— everywhere. Not just included, but celebrated.
