Dear fellow Mayhemer,

     Thanks for checking me out! I possess a dynamic and edgy personality. My creativity has few boundaries and demands to be expressed continuously.

     I started modeling at 18 years old because I told my mother, who I had just met at the time, that I thought myself to be ugly. She was not accepting of that and forced me into a day spa miracle. Then she dragged me to my first photography session ever. I was so nervous and scared as I sat in makeup underneath the bright lights of the studio. I was stiff and felt so awkward at first but as the shoot progressed I started loosening up and enjoying myself. Then he revealed to me what I looked like and I was blown away. As I sat completely speechless my mom and I cried tears of joy in a moment of sheer revelation.

       I was hooked from that moment. I chose to move to Los Angeles at age 19 to pursue modeling. 8 months later, just as I was really settling in, my mother chose tragically to end her life and in six years I haven't gotten in front of the camera since.

      After all these years I finally feel ready to take that step again. Not for glamour or fame but to again engage in the creative process of making beautiful pictures.  I want to spread my wings and share with  the world insightful inspiration I have gained from my life. It pleases me to say that I am ready to do this and honors my mothers memory through it. 

     Living in beautiful Kauai there are so many possibilities and I cant wait to engage the exquisite surroundings through modeling again.

      Mahalo for reading and I look forward to artistically collaborating with the photographers in the region and beyond.

Aloha xoxoxo
